Installing axle seals too deep

Just finished up installing a new axle seal and new drive axle on the drivers side. I have read that the seal should be flush with the housing just like the one I removed, however I was not paying enough attention and tapped it in about an 1/8" deep. I used a little Allen wrench and was able to feel clearance behind the seal so I think I should be fine. Anything I should be concerned about?
