Default Cam swap question

Pulled cams out of 2004 heritage softail. Do i need to press a new type of bearing into the cam plate for the rear cam to fit properly? Looks like there is a race on the original cam that came out. It fits into the original bearing that is in the plate now. Did a dyna cam set before dont remember this issue?

I believe pre-2007 used a roller bearing for the outer cam. Post-2007 used a parent material bushing for the outer cam. SE cam plate uses an actual bearing (Ni-Bronze?) for the outer.

Maybe time for the SE setup?
