is this for a standard cantilevered wheel drivetrain?
If so, your wheel is captured by your bearing block in the outside of the frame rail.
If not, add a spacer. Your shaft is all but 100% guaranteed to fail at that snap ring as it stands.

There's no need to perform FEA on those plates. By visual inspection they look similar to multiple other successful gearboxes. 1/4" Aluminum plate is ridiculously strong, even pocketed out like that.
