wheel studs fit loose invented rotors?

so i brought the hub/rotor that look like it had been on the 85' diff since it left the assembly line to work and one of our mechanics helped me press the hub off( 1800psi of pressure it took and one rotor exploded). Then i cleaned the hub and wheel studs up and brought them home to pound the studs in. And they sit in the rotors loosely? is this normal, does it suck up when u pound it into the hub? any help is appreciated. sorry for the detail, i get carried away.

Are they the right studs?? Measure the stud and the hole. I have been given the wrong ones all ready

I use a regular lug nut with the flat part toward the hub and pull it in with a air wrench. I have never beat one in I know it would not work for me.

well they are the studs that were in the SFA and after hitting them up on the wire wheel they look new. i dug through the dumpster to dayat the shop and found the original rotors and the studs fit inthem the same. so im assuming the splines in the studs push into the hub and hold the two together when you put thelug nuts on? help mofo's lol j/k, j/k
