If you do have to adjust the bearings as mentioned by droog and several others, and do need to restrain the washer from turning, use a tab washer of the correct size and thickness. A tab washer has a projecting tab on one side like these:
https://www.amazon.com/1500pcs-Stain.../dp/B00SXFA1WG.
Some have multiple tabs, but work the same way.
After the bearings have been installed and the nut backed off by the recommended amount, and the split pin is in place, bend the tab up so it firmly contacts one of the flats on the nut. This secures the washer to the nut, which cannot become loose because the split pin prevents it from moving.
this was a commonly used system on twenties English cars. I remember it particularly from working on Austin 7s 60 odd years ago, where tab washers were used in several locations.

If you are patient , and have the time, lay the washer on a sheet of fine 'emery' paper on a flat surface and rub it back and forwards for as long as it takes to reduce the thickness. I know that can take a long time, but if you dont have any tools, at least its a way.
Alternatively, lay it on a flat 'bastard' file and do the same.
I assume you dont have a flat fine cut file, so the initial suggestion applies, unless you can buy a file.
I also suggest you replace the split pins. The ones you removed look pretty "ratshit"

This is a point which confuses me. I watch regularly an Aussi YT channel about boat restoration, oytboareer repair etc and one episode describes the changing of hubs with bearings. And I was surprised that you do it use a washer. I am still do not know what the difference to North America is. Here nearly everybody uses a washer. However when I compare the system's I do not see much difference.
My bearing number is L 44643 and cup L 44610.

Thank you! Which grit would you recommend? I am new to metal work so I have slowly take my time to built up my tool box and get more knowledge . Which flat fine cut file would you recommend?
I have some welding in front of me too and unfortunately no plan how to do it....

From that information the bearings appear to be fairly standard for your part of the world and used on axles rated 1000-2000 lbs, the standard replacement washer is the same as you have and the axles you have do not fit any of the lock washers.
If you installed the bearing cups and are certain that they are correctly seated the only thing I can see is that the axles were machined and drilled for use without a washer. The castellated nut you have is also not as deep as what we have here.
I would be drilling a new hole for the split pin at 90 degrees from where it is, the split pin is only yo stop the nut from rotating and loads at that point on the axle are minimal.
