Default Camshaft won’t fit into new bearings

Hi, new here.

I am replacing both camshaft and cam bearings in my Pontiac 400. It has been previously rebuilt. The old
bearings were unidentifiable so I ordered
Clevite standard cam bearings which fit perfectly into my block when I installed them. Now neither the new or old camshaft will fit through the new bearings.
The inner diameter is too small but outer diameter is perfect.

Why won’t my new or old camshaft fit into a standard bearing? What bearings should I try instead? Oversize/Undersize?
