Pinion Race Wwalking Out?

Pinion Race Wwalking Out?
Opened up the cam chest on my '98 Evo to look everything over while my heads are off. Noticed what I think is the pinion race walked out quite a bit, enough to have some marks on the snap-ring (from the innermost cam lobe?). The roller bearing around it is still in place and doesn't seem to have any damaged rollers or signs of wobbling.
As far as I can tell there is supposed to be a lip on the back side of these races to keep them from walking out? Otherwise how does it stay put.
I could be way off but please fill me in on what is happening here. Thank you all!

I could have the name wrong. Spacer, Race, whatever it is called it's the same issue from this thread, though the OP stopped posting so I don't know what solution was found:

There are different sizes dependent on bearings.
