Getting closer, but not home. It seems we were mislead by your title description of an ovslized headtube, but let's move on.
CC 40 headsets come in two versions, press-in and integrated. Both use a drop in cartridge bearing, so there are two possibilities.
1- the cup is defective or damaged,
2- you're doing something wrong, ie. bearing upside down.
It's also possible that the parts are all OK, and it's simply a loose headset, or one that can't tighten because of a missing spacer, or other similar issue.
At this point, I'm out until you post a photo of the bearing sitting in the cup, so we can see for ourselves.
