The only issue I have is that unlike your stock setup, the bearing in the setup in my photos can move back and forth about an 1/8" - 1/4" simply by pulling/pushing on it. When I look at my stock OEM setup, the bearing is as you noted and pushed up against the clutch disc at all times. The slave cylinder has to actually pull it out when the is disengaged (which makes sense since this is a pull type of system as others have commented).
I don't understand why the bearing can move back and forth in this setup as compared to the stock setup.

Again...the bearing should NEVER have room to move when the slave cyl and fork and everything is installed in the car.
The slave cyl and fork hold it against the pressure plate.
Once everything is installed...the bearing doesn't float. It always rides on the pressure plate. It spins at engine speed for its entire installed life.

What you are seeing is completely normal. Yes there will be slight differences in how the bearing fits in the fingers.
Once the PP is bolted down, pull the bearing all the way towards the rear of the car.
At that point, BE SURE it is wiggly and loose. If it is pinned tight jn any way, you have a problem.

Thank you Billman...I feel much better now.
I have the PP bolted down and have the bearing pulled towards the transmission (as denoted in picture #2)....and it is wiggly and loose
