I’ve never used a SRAM crankset before so I don’t know if this much space should be between the crank arm and BB. This is the non-drive side. The manual said for my 73mm BB to just use a 4.5mm spacer on the drive side. Unfortunately I bought the DUB BB used on eBay and it only came with a 3mm spacer so I used that. What do you guys think.

Yeah, you need the 4.5mm spacer to give enough the correct chainline and allow you to prelod the BB bearings correctly.
You could potentially bodge it in the meantime while you wait for the correct spacer to arrive in the mail by using a spacer on the drive side cup of the BB.
If the BB spacer is 2.5mm you could shave it down with a low grit sandpaper or belt sander if you wanted to get closer to 4.5mm (3mm + sanded down to 1.5mm)
