Those plastic cups do not need to be incredibly tight. All they really do is make sure the BB is centered in the frame's BB tube. If you just snug them up reasonably tight you'll be fine. I cracked a couple of these before I stopped obsessing about correct torque. Even cracked, they will work just fine. Worry about torque on the drive side. That one needs to be pretty tight.
