Cam thrust washer issue

I got my new cam in, and slid the bronze thrust washer over it. The ID of the thrust washer seems a bit too big. OD seems fine. I'm guessing about 1/16" to 3/32" of movement around the cam bearing surface. Is this normal?

Edit:
Well its tight around the bearing but there is a tiny groove at the end of the cam that the washer slide in.. Is this all ok?
