that's definitely not good, Scrolled thru your pics ---- the YD guys here will have the answer to this question --- Should the bearing retainer shells be inside the bracket plates rather than outside them as I see in the one picture? 1/4-in.-ish plate x2 = 1/2 .....
I know when i was setting up the old sunl axle in my daughter's build where i had to add my own hangars to match it, it would sometimes not seat the bearings fully without an extra shove to get the seal lip over the bearing land. Messed up my measurements a couple times and left me with side to side play until i figured that little issue out. if you've got that movement, when the engine torque hits, it could be pulling the axle over and making the rotor shove against the calipers, effectively running with the brakes always on and overheating.
I'd drop the axle and see if you can't shove those shells inboard and remount them on the other side.
