The reason for that is: A. If you don't have the bearing on far enough, you may not get it locked down securely. Or (more importantly) B. If you lock it down too far back the moveable parts of the clutch will not have room to operate and you will destroy the clutch.

Look inside your clutch pulley and you will see large snap ring (marked "B" on the drawing below). When you slide the pulley on the bearing that snap ring is the stopper as to how far the pulley will go on the bearing. If the bearing is too far back on the crankshaft the orange button in the center will not have room to move.

Also on the drawing marked "A" are the Allen screws. You should have two sets of three and note that one set is tapered. See on the drawing that the tapered ones go in the hole first and the tapered tip seats just behind the bearing preventing the pulley from coming off. The second set of screws with the flat tips go in behind the tapered ones to jam lock them and preventing them from backing out.

Wow this diagram is way easier to understand than the grainy ones scanned out of old service manuals that try to show the same thing that I've been looking at
