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.
We? Go ahead and be out. Absolutely zero useful info, but much "I'm the expert" huffing and puffing. I've built more than 50 bikes up from frames you hump, the bearing isn't upside down. Jeez.
