mid bb install problem

hello everyone, i was pressing my bearings into my bb shell and it seems like the spacer that goes between the two bearings is too long?? the two bearings will stick out on each side 3-4 mm probably and they will not be seated against the machined stops of the bb shell.

is all this normal? it doesn't seem right. do i need to cut the spacer? and that's messed up because it is not going to be easy to cut the thing square AND the precise length it needs to be to allow bearings to be seated in shell and supported by spacer.
