Axle Depth in Rear Diff Question

Hi all,
I put new axles on. The old ones had a single thin washer. I swapped it over and could not get the c-clip to fasten. It appeared the axle was not able to get far enough in to the diff. So I took the washer off and the c-clip went on easily. Now I'm worried the axle is too far in to the housing. Can you tell from looking at the picture? There is space, but not much.
