Quick question about Research Bureau resets and stacking multipliers

Hey guys, first time reset ever and chose the haru line as the first to grab the current 2x bonus before a new 2x will be available in 10days . I don't think I can handle the grind in 10 days. When the new 2x bonus drops in a few days, will I be able to apply the new 2x if I finished the grind on that time period and still secure 40k?

thanks alot

Crankset condition

First 2 picture are the current condition and the second is brand new.

I'm using an RS501 BB (68mm), but this crankset is mtb length so I used three rubber washers—which I know aren't supposed to be used for the tiagra bb

I checked it out after noticing play in the cranks. I serviced it and found that the bearing on the NDS has alot of play, while the DS has none. However, after re-greasing and giving it a lot of preload during reinstallation, there is no play in the system if I do it incorrectly and too much preload

I realized I've been installing this incorrectly. I've been using my knees and arms to squeeze the crank arms together and tightening the pinch bolts first before the cap. I know there are a lot of problems since I’ve been doing it this way for about 7,000km. I know that I really need to replace the BB with an MTB-compatible one, but I’m not really sure about my crankset. Thanks alot
