Not far enough in by the look of it - there should be a shoulder that stops it going in too far. Mine was put in 2mm appx. below flush. I can't tell if you have it the correct way round though!

looks wrong way round the seal in the bearing (diesel only) should face the gearbox, there's writing on the flat end of the bearing shell that faces you when you push the bearing into the end of the crank, should be about 1.6mm below flush when fully home
