Tapered bearings do not normally require a press fit because the thrust set should place enough pressure in the roller bearing so that bearing does not turn on the shaft.
A slight press, and it sounds like that is what you have, should be O.K. If it will go completely in and engage the cup I would set the bearing the same as the others. As Donn said, too loose is better than too tight. If in doubt, sand the shaft with emery cloth.
