Default Sierra Lobro shafts

Well managed to get a bit done today, however I bit concerned about the assembly of the drive shafts. They are the lobro type with the 6 steel ball bearings in the cv cage.
I can get the thing assembled but there is very little movement, is this normal? I have trawled through Google but there is limited information/descriptions.
Has anyone got any tips about the assembly?
Thanks

Managed to find a old thread on here with a Youtube link, I seem to be doing exactly as the vid but I ain't got any diagonal movement, just in/out.

Managed to get them stripped down again, trying to get my head around which way they go back together, there is a recessed line on one side of each cage not sure which way they should face?
Also just got some boots for them, so many different types etc hopefully I got the correct ones. They are bolt on type boots.
