984gasm, your seal looks like it is bent in towards the center and it probably happened when you tightened the axle without the narrow spacer in place. The seal should be perfectly flat. I would just replace it, very easy to do and only about $4.00 for the part. Just pry the old one out and then carefully tap the new one in until it is flush with the outer surface of the hub. Make sure you don't distort it while installing or it will not seal. Insert the spacer and then re-install the wheel on the bike. Make sure you torque the axle properly, following service manual procedures.

I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to lose their spacers for the 2010 wheel setup when they remove the wheel to get a new tire installed. Don't feel bad, it is an easy mistake to make, especially since the pre-2010 wheels did not use this additional spacer. Take care.

Motorbike, Hammer, and Danair- appreciate the knowledge and advice. I'm going to order the parts tomorrow and replace. Hammer was nice enough to offer his assistance if needed, so I should be good. Thanks all for chiming in.

My bad, I didn't recognize it as a 2010 wheel. I learned something.

On pre 10 bikes, the brake caliper slides into the rear swingarm. There is a slot that mates with the rear swing arm. If looks like the rear caliper is not seated correctly in the slot.
