I took the old BB out of my Cannondale M400 (BB-UN72) and the new one (BB-UN73) has a smaller "lip" where the metal (right) side torques against the frame. I'm just worried about putting too much force on a smaller surface area of the BB shell. I hope somebody knows what I mean..

Not a problem. The threads are the stress point, since they are relatively thin material.
