As long as it doesn’t feel segmented (can you feel each bearing as it spins) and doesn’t make any noise or have play I’m sure it’s fine.
With what seems like you have to put some force behind the spin and that limited movement from the crank I would thnk that there is work to be done.
So this is a BB30 frame with an adapter – using a threaded BSA BB, correct? – I would say continue with the build process and get the bike on the road, and ride it, then do a debriefing/spin check. I can see why you are worried – but carry on with the build – it is working, I cannot hear any clicks or see any segmented notchy moments.
lighten the pre-tension on the plastic nut and try again.
Dude, if you can move it with a finger you are fine. Your legs have so much power, you wont notice, if its not perfectly smoothe.
