Bottom Bracket caged bearing orientation
 

I think I put these in in the wrong direction. When I rode the bike a couple times the crank loosened up on me some.
so which photo show the side that should be facing the cup? Thanks

About 40 seconds in this video explains for your BB and how to figure out other caged bearing setups.

Top photo to the cup, bottom photo to the cone/spindle, though the video one post up explains why very nicely.

Loose bearings never go in the wrong direction

An eleven ball retainer installs with the open face facing inward; a nine ball retainer installs with the open face facing outward.

Thanks guys

They can if you drop them. I'm still looking for one out of a vintage NOS Shimano hub I cleaned and re-packed a couple of weeks ago. :)
