Once it is in place, this BB must not turn, or else it might damage the tape. Undoing your hard work... Hope this helps.
Wow, well congratulations for getting that done. I know the mechanic I had tried to line up the cables with the holes but could only do it with the Praxis in backwards. I ended up with one of the quick fix, Wheels adaptors, and it's creak free. Not my ideal fix but it definitely works.
Another option is the Hawk Racing BB converter, which doesn't use a sleeve.
