driveshaft bearing dust shield 200

I recently changed my driveshaft bearing after it started whining. It was a cheap Scantech that lasted me 2 years so I replaced it with an SKF. I had not put the dust shield on when I used the Scantech bearing but put it back on for the new SKF. I also replaced the rubber mount which has seen better days.

The whining sound is gone, but I hear something that sounds like the dust shield is rubbing against the rubber mount. I installed the shield in the right direction with the chamfered end facing the rubber mount. Maybe the metal lip backing on the driveshaft is bent after having removed an old bearing years ago and now does not allow for the right clearance between the dust shield and rubber mount?

Any thoughts on going without the dust shield or would that age the bearing prematurely? Has anyone glued the shield to the driveshaft lip to fix the clearance?

Thanks for your thoughts,
