Thanks for clarifying. It indeed sounds like a faulty installation. Typically when the bearings are 'cocked' like that, the camshaft turns through with a lot of resistance and subsequently wears the bearing out quicker. When you removed that particular bearing, you should have observed a very unusual wear pattern around its inside circumference.
