I can't really figure out what is wrong, bearing are lubed etc.

I took the flywheel of and tried a shim before the cone, same issue, the cone match the inner part of front bearing perfectly too.

I am also almost sure the crank has been pushed all the way in, it is very very tight, but believe I got it all the way.

Please help out, I can't remember if this is normal or something is wrong.

Thanks in advance
what engine and is it new? Did you replace the bearings? Sounds like the rear bearing isn't seated correctly
