Did I get these ball joints in all the way?

I am installing the lower ball joints on my shiny new POL lower control arms. They seem to have bottomed out when I pressed them in but I want to make sure. Anyone see anything wrong??

usually you get them in til they bottom out and put a snap ring on them if it even came with one. looks good from the picture but of course hard to tell from not seeing it in person

yeah probably doesnt need it, the way those ball joints are facing the weight of the truck is going to be pulling up on them to keep them in place
