Default Trailer bunks and keel rollers

I have a 26 Outlaw on an original Roadrunner trailer. Bunks and keel rollers are fixed or non-adjustable. I recently replaced the bunks and am questioning the load distribution between bunks and rollers. I have read several articles and posts and still don’t see a good answer regarding wether weight should rest on bunks primarily or on the keel rollers. I believe it’s bunks but would like opinions.

Rollers are for protection during loading/unloading. Not for support. Bunks are for support.

On the bunks. Rollers should just be snugly touching

Ideally the boat would roll up the rollers and barely be touching them when all the way forward.
