There should be only one oil dam so that's correct. The axle bearing should be an "easy drive" fit on the inner driver shaft so you'll need to employ a hammer and some sort of tool. I have a tube that fits over the axle shaft and lays just right on the inner race of the bearing so I stand the inner driver on a bench and set the housing with bearing on it then slip the tube on and drive it down with a mallet or my press until the bearing is fully seated. Then the snap ring goes on.
If you don't have such a tube you can take a long slender (1/4 - 5/16 inch) drift and carefully tap the inner race of the bearing using a 6 and 12, 3 and 9 o'clock pattern and it will slip down onto the shaft. Just be careful not to get too aggressive or hit the balls in the bearing. A brass drift is ideal but the fit is loose enough that even with a steel drift the bearing will push onto the shaft before you ever make any sort of impression on it's hardened inner race. If the snap ring won't rotate around the shaft after it's in it's groove then you need to set the bearing a tiny bit deeper.
