Dana 35 Cross pin bolt

Just had to install a new ring and pinion along with a carrier in a Rear 35, I could NOT get the crosspin bolt to thread in all the way and was worried I was gonna snap it off.
I took and grinded the end of it down until I was able to screw it in all the way with lock tight. I ended up shaving at least a little over a 1/8...now I noticed that the pin is a hair short of going into the other side of the carrier..

Not a 35 expert.
Will the cross pin bolt break because it's too short ?
I goes all the way through the pin but a hair shy of the carrier.
