This is the best picture I have of the setup that holds this axle in place.
Basically the brake baking plate is set in place on the T studs, inside the housing is the axle seal, then the bearing, then a little 1/8" spacer, then the retaining place it placed over the T bolts and you put nuts on it through the hole in the end of the axle hub.
Moser themselves is who gave me the seal part number. Apparently they use it all of the time with their ends, bearing and axles.
Not sure why QP refuses to even admit the seals are needed. EVERYONE I know with a QP 9" fights this issue.
