[Closed] Hollowtech II End Cap Issue

Hi all, I have googled this over and over again and cannot find anyone with the same issue. I also think that one of the answers will be "remove the spacer it doesn't matter" but my need to know WHY is strong, and I have done everything by the book so everything should work! SLX Hollowtech II crankset fitted to a frame with a 68mm BB. I have used two 2.5mm spacers on the drive side and one on the non drive side as per instruction, this set up means that there isn't enough length on the end cap for the thread to reach in and grab, I might have managed to get it onto one thread at one point but the next turn to tweak it just popped it off again. WTF?

Update: Just had a look on the Planet X website, the spec now states 73mm BB. So despite me looking like an idiot for not measuring it, we have all saved other the humiliation 🙂 Job well done!
