Make sure you are purchasing the correct seals.
After market ones don't always work.

How To Replace Mazda Axle Seal/2013 Mazda CX-5 Axle Seal Removal And Replacement - YouTube
Hi. Thank you for answer. I saw this video and also how this job was done in my car. Looks the same, maybe only problem with seal. Also guy who changed this seal told that there is some backlash of axle from gear box side. Maybe you know it should be backlash in cx5?I checked several my friends cars and there no any backlash.

With a 2014 it's possible backlash could be an issue due to wear.
There are bunch of different shims for adjusting that, but I have no idea what the specs are.
It can also be your axle shaft carrier bearing or even the axle itself.
You can mess around with all that but probably be cheaper to take it to an authorized dealer of Mazda mechanic.
If you have one handy anyway but I suspect being in the Ukraine right now that's likely not top on your list.
