Loosen the pinch bolts and push them to see if they will go any closer together, if not put some spacers between the crank arm and the dust cover then you should be good

You’ve basically gotta determine if it’s not sliding down further because 1) it’s not moving (pinch bolt is too tight, parts are rusty, needs more grease, etc) or 2) because it’s already slid in as far as it’s going to, the clamp bolt is bottomed out, and you need to add some spindle/BB spacers.
One of those two things should fix it

Awesome, thanks for the respnses. Built the bike custom but had my dad do the cranks. He thought they were fine but I thought it was a bit weird. Will try a couple of the solutions TMRW otherwise I’ll buy some new cranks. Would get either the redline flight 3s or odyssey thunderbolts.
