loose rear wheal bearing help

You kidding - right
Where was the axle / axle nut / c-clamp - when the bearing / spacer were falling onto the floor
The fix is - put it all back together - but check that the bearing is good first

Wheel bearings should not fall out - when removing / installing..., it needs to be pressed in/ out (iow it a tight fit)
So
Is it the correct bearing for the wheel
Is the hub wallowed out - and needs replaced
You have calipers that you can take some measurements

Well you can either go to a machine shop, and see what they say, or get a bearing shim.

You probably don't need a new wheel. Try some Loctite Bearing Retaining Compound.

Several versions are offered, 660, 680 etc. It's easy to find at auto parts stores, Amazon and elsewhere.
This is an adhesive that can hold the race of a loose bearing in its bore.

Other brands are also out there.
Also, I'd replace all the wheel bearings. H-D has been using some cheapo bearings in recent years. Buy a name-brand like Fafnir/Timken etc.
If you do a search, you'll find an old thread where I gave more info and part numbers.
Your bearing probably went bad, locked up and spun in its bore. You should be able to fix this just fine.
edit- here ya go. Read this old thread. H-D changed sizes on some of these wheels so double check part numbers to make sure for your year model.
