If you can check that the bearings are fitted correctly then you can leave it alone and fit a spacer ring betwwen the frontmost bearing outer and the front plate.
The spacer sould be thick enough to project just a little forward of the crankcase, so the outer rings are clamped by the front plate, via the spacer and the outer rings, to the rear plate.
The front bearings should be angular contact bearings which have outer rings thicker on one side than the other, fitted so the thicker sides meet together between the two bearings.
Not always easy to tell thick from thin, some bearings have "Thrust" marked on the thicker side.
So if you take the front plate off and can see "Thrust" you know they are wrong, and have to come out.
If you cannot see "Thrust" on the front bearing you can do the same at the rear, probably.
If you cannot see "Thrust" on either bearing, then you could take a chance they are the right kind bearings, fit the spacer, and off you go.
If you decide to take the bearings out and haven't removed front bearings before, take advice before you do.
