Did you adjust the limit screws on your FD? It's possible that this crankset has a different spindle length than your previous crankset. I would take it apart and do it correctly, being sure to adjust the limit screws on your FD. The spacers are there for a reason.
Okay upon further inspection I did (as I suspected) place the cups in the correct sides. As for the spacers I thought those were simply to help you get the proper chain line? Do the spacers serve another purpose?
