I actually went to the junkyard and got 2 more, but the hub is slightly different in the front so these can't actually be placed in the front ones.

Click to expand... That's what I was wondering. The fronts don't have much of a lip to catch the caps. A bit of grease is always good though. It stops any rust and helps make any removal easier. (like for front wheel bearings)

Just keep in mind that the front has a sealed bearing and while not critical that it has a hub cover as long as you don't live where salt and water and aplenty it's ok. The rears, OTOH are conventional ball bearings and they NEED to be sealed.
