If the FSA crank has too much clearance so moves side to side or the chainring touches the chainstay you will have to add spacers to the drive side. You could stack 1mm spacers side to side for maximum adjustability.
However I have not had luck with using Shimano BBs with FSA cranksets. The FSA crankset is too tight. They are both 24mm spindles but with different tolerances. It may work for you.
Thanks, will give just give it a try.
