    The fatter, cylindrical
    The fatter, cylindrical plastic spacer goes on behind the chainrings, then fit the axle through the BB cups, and put on the flatter, chamfered spacer before fitting the NDS crank

    I’m assuming you haven’t got
    I’m assuming you haven’t got the instructions, since Shimano ones tend to be pretty good. You can find them on techdocs.shimano.com. If that doesn’t help try the Park Tools website. They tend to have lots of guides, and may well cover your specific question.

    BB fitting : Lightly grease
    BB fitting : Lightly grease threads with copper grease or teflon grease and check the length (drive side to non-drive side) of your BB shell. If it’s 68mm, you’ll need a BB spacer on each side, if it’s 73mm, you’ll need no spacers. Tighten to recommended torque settings.

    Crank fitting : Lightly grease contact points where the crank spindle will sit on the bearings and slide in through the drive side. Get the groove on the left hand crank to match the groove on the splines on the spindle and tighten the little plastic nut hand tight. Now tighten both pinch bolts to recommended torque settings. Check cranks for side to side play in the spindle and job done..
