Will the HCW-4 fit on the drive side exactly? You said something like this so Im a little confused.
The HCW-4 will fit
most cups closely. Better cups will fill the wrench's "circle" better. Your cups are cheaper, so I'd expect a bit of looseness. It shouldn't matter- once the cup is broken loose, it should come out with a minimum of fuss. It's always that first 1/16th of a turn that's the toughest.
The HCW-11 will grab the adjustable (left-side) cup really well. Back when I was working on bikes professionally, we turned it with a large Crescent wrench that would grab the cup on both sides of the spindle. This took a subtle touch... tough to do while trying not to drop a 10 pound wrench on your foot.
