Is your turbo new or has it been installed before? If it is not new, there may be some crud in there preventing the housings from closing back together properly. Take it back apart and make sure the inside channel is clean before reassembling.

Re: problem with new turbo (h-tman)
It's fine to have a small bit of shaft play side to side, as long as the blades do not touch the walls of the turbo, it should be fine.
