I think they came from the factory the way you did it, with the paper gasket 
pressed backwards into that triangular cavity that seems like it was destined 
for an O-ring. I have done them the other way, with the O-ring in the cavity 
and that also seemed to work just fine.

Did you install the other paper gasket on the inside face of the brake backing 
plate?

Did you install a new small O-ring? Is your new oil seal installed with the lip 
facing in? (It should face in.)
