I just installed new rear wheel bearings, and pressed the hub into the bearing, however there seems to be some play in the hub, both in and out as well as 12-6, 9-3 movement....its not that much but it doesnt seem like thats normal... I feel like they came out of the box like that as well....any suggestions or insight?

There will be play in the bearing until the axle is installed and the axle nut brought to full torque. If you haven't yet installed the axle what you are seeing is normal.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
