I would not work with this shop any more. Sounds like they are not helping you. Assuming you actually have a Super Record crankset, that spindle will be too short. If you have a C-Record, that will probably work fine though. A picture will help.
If you do, and if you can't find the correct Campagnolo BB, you can confidently get another Shimano Dura-Ace BB-7400 bottom bracket with a 70-W-113 spindle. Get it adjusted and installed by someone who knows how to do it. Chances are, if the mechanic doesn't have gray hair, he won't. Just sayin'

You won't help yourself with "seems." You'll end up getting more bad and/or confusing answers than helpful ones.
Luckily it's easy to determine. Hold both crank arms and try to move them laterally. If they move together, the problem is the BB adjustment. If one moves and the other doesn't, then one is not tight on the taper.
If one isn't tight on the taper, it might just be a bit loose, and tighten up satisfactorily. Hopefully the taper itself isn't damaged seriously.
