    It may be a case of the bolts on the crank-arm being too loose, but at this stage you'll need to pre-load the bearing tension again via the end cap. See here for a guide on installing external bearing crank systems.

    However since it has slipped in the way that it has, I have seen issues with an FSA chain set on a club mate's bike whereby because of the looseness the splines had actually worn each other away on the chain set, and they couldn't be properly tightened any more. If you had the BB changed in a shop it looks like they might not have reinstalled the crankset with appropriate torque, so I would be raising this with them, tbh.

    As cython says.

    A video on installing the crankset may help
