Default help with front wheel install

Help! I'm installing the front wheel on my 99 flht and can't seem to remember which spacers go where. It seems as though the speedo drive is the left hand spacer and then i have two spacers
left. One longer than the other. The long one seems to go on the right side and that gives the correct spacing for the brake caliper. But when i assemble the thing that way it seems that there is still a spacing issue. Is there room someplace for the shorter spacer or am i missing the correct way to tighten the axle nut and draw it all together?????

i'll try it that way. but it seems like it needs the long one on the right side to space the wheel correctly. Thank you!!

i noticed that the exploded diagram was for sealed bearing models. Is it the same for tapered bearings like the ones in my 99?
