It seems to slide on both sets of splines like it should. I won't take up your page with a bunch of pics. This however is how they always have gone on when I did them on my front wheel or four wheel drives. They slide most of the way in and you torque the rest of the way down.
You of course can be the judge but the company I got the hubs you have from said the below to me.
"We have a berger Camaro here on our lot that has the 22813177 and 22813178 axle shafts on it, the hub part number I sold you is the same hub as well. I showed your pictures to one of our techs and he said it looks correct, the shaft will press into the hub as it is tightened. If you are still leary about the hubs you can always send them back for a refund. Although they are the only hubs that are shown for that application."
Let me know if you want the source for the new old stock ones(seems odd to call it NOS for a '12 Camaro) and I'll send it to you.

I've already bolted up both hub bearings to the spindles so I'll try to pull the axles through these bearings with the nut when I go back together with everything. Just waiting on BMR to get back to me on the upper control arm bushings, having a little issue with them on the install and I'd rather deal with it on the ground then when the cradle is back up in the car.
I know acdelco has superceeded the part numbers a few times on these hub bearings so I'm guessing they've made improvements on them. Maybe they made the splines a tighter fit to help with noises. Just guessing on that but I think I remember reading some tsb about driveline noises and axles/hubs/nut can't remeber exactly.
Here's a before and after on the spindle assemblies. Its nice to be able to clean everything while it's apart. Kinda makes me not want to drive it in the rain anymore, it's going to be so shiny and nice underneath lol
