It's hard to see in pictures of the TOP retainer, but they have a decent lip on one side that keeps them from sliding over the whole joint. Once installed in the bearings and hubs, there's no wobble, some slight inboard/outboard play, and when installed the cross pin is never uncovered.
Is it perfect? No, but it does work very well.
