Rear main seal too deep? Redo?

Hi friends,

I think I might have pushed the rear main seal in too deep. It's level all the way around but I think I sent beyond where it would be flush with the mating surface.. how does this look? I can order another one free with the FCP warranty and just pay for the 1 day shipping, but I'm also trying to get this engine back in the car asap

Looks good to me.
Here's a picture of how deep my seal sits. I borrowed a Volvo OE tool to seat it.

Is that another Place the engine serial number is placed on the engine ?

None of those numbers I can identify in the photo match the engine nr.
