The bearing is supposed to be really tight. Like, you have to press or hammer it in to place. You don’t want it coming out easily or the wheel might fall off. I get the idea to use a paper shim. It’s just the right size. With a paper shim wrapped around it in a single layer, the bearing needs to be hammered into place.
