For your viewing please. You’re looking at the non-drive side of the frame. Now watch the markings on the bottom bracket cups.

Whats the point? Its normal one side is reversed thread.
Personally, I’d return the bike for manufacturing error.
You’re right, that’s a Right (R->) sided cup threading into the Left side with the bike upside down.
The threading is supposed to be the other way around because it is then self-tightening.
Somebody was having an off day when they built that frame. That’s wild.
That’s hilarious. Should be a good enough reason for a refund.
LOL, what’s the manufacturer of the frame?
possibly an italian threaded bottom bracket, they are threaded the opposite way to a standard BSA one
Probably an Italian BB they don’t have the reverse threaded part like so called English threaded BB’s
I’m failing to see any threads on the bike frame. Are you sure that’s not press fit?
So the bracket is in backwards. Pretty simple manufacturer error.
