My factory 1955(0nly) Chevy manual really doesn't describe the fitment of the bearings other than to say: Draw bolts up until caps are snug to the crankshaft bearing journals. Also .002 shims are the starting point on the caps.
In the past I just felt the cap(s) edges for alignment as I tightened toward the prescribed torque while following the bolt tightening sequence.
Newer manuals may have a different prescribed method.
