Default Wheel bearing issue

Heya, I gotta 99 civic LX, and I'm trying to rebuild some 94 Integra LS front steering knuckles to swap into my car. I've replaced the following items:

Pads
Rotors
Rebuilt the caliper with new piston seals

I got brand new bearings from vatozone, and pressed them in, but the right side bearings are very wobbly and they chatter a little when they're spun. They don't exactly spin the most freely either, as though there's some resistance. I have a vid of it, but I gotta put it up after class. The left side seems fine.

I dunno how much more descriptive I should be, but if there's anything left vague just ask. Gracias

Either you got a bad bearing out of the box, or you damaged it when pressing it on. Pull it and replace it again.

If it ended up being user error, I'll try to see if I can exchange it with one that's not damaged. (Damaged before purchase kinda excuse). If that doesn't work, I'll just buy new. Do the stickies have a write up for wheel bearings?

EDIT: I found the write up. Turned out it was me. I pressed it in with the hub facing... The lugs up. So when I went to press it in, the inner race of the axle side of the bearing just kinda fell out. I knew that wasnt supposed to happen. I dun learnt though.
