Do not leave the spacer between the swing arm and sprocket carrier out. It transfers the clamping load from the swingarm to the inner race of the sprocket carrier bearing. Without it the clamping load is going straight to the inner race of the wheel bearing. In other words without the spacer the sprocket is being held in line purely by the interference fit of the sprocket bearing.
