With everything out of the frame can you assemble it and offer it up to the bb shell to see how it looks or are the cups an interference fit on the middle bit?
Just googling "phil wood bottom bracket" produces several images where there looks to be around 5mm of thread protruding from the shell.
Doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing or, given the depth of the cups, mechanically sound but seems like it might be meant to be like that?
