I am trying to replace the crankset on my 2017 CAADX 105 with a used sram red crankset but I couldn’t get it to work. What is the thing marked in red? I couldn’t get it off and it is preventing the spindle from fully inserted into the bottom bracket. The spindle has a bb30 logo which should fit my frame. Please help！

I could be mistaken (as cranksets and bottom brackets are the one thing I can never understand), but doesn’t the Red crankset use a Dub bottom bracket? I thought the FSA Omega used a Shimano standard BB?
It should come off. Very careful pry it off. Then install it in the bearing. Then install cranks.
My BB30 Red crank doesn’t have any extra parts, should be just the cranks and bearings, and possibly some bearing dust caps.
I don’t know about the FSA setup tho, that sleeve may mean it’s a different size bearing on that side..? Is there one on the other side?
