[Closed] SRAM crank preload thing, is this right

Just got a new bike (carbon frame) with a PF30 bb and X01 crank.

I belted the bottom of the non-drive side crank into the ground and not much after that got a creak from the bb.

After the ride I noticed the crank was loose.

Following instructions and using correct torque, leaves some side to side play that I believe must be taken up by the preload adjuster.

Seems a heck of a lot of play to take up though and I'm surprised it looks so flimsy. When spaced out the outer part of the adjuster isn't held on to the inner threaded part that sits on the axle.

I'm not that convinced it's right.

Anyone care to share their thoughts of photos of theirs.

Thanks
