Pass side front axle fixed, but noticed another issue.

After installing, I've got a crap load of play in the flange that the axle bolts to, as seen in the picture above. The play is at least 5 - 7 mm. Not sure what to do now. I checked the driver's side and it has virtually no play in it. Does anyone have any experience with this?
