I noticed it when I was swapping the bearings for the 2 gears, they were switched, round-hex.
The bearings were loctited in with loctite 680, and it was probably applied a day or two ago, If you feel the bearing is not retained enough remove the bearing clean it and apply a fresh coat of this loctite and allow it time to properly dry in not cold temperatures (ala UPS truck).
The bearing does not see any significant side forces.

Things are moving quick around here

Let me know if you have any issues.
