This was my thoughts on getting rid of the nick okay so glad to know it should be pretty straight forward!
Yes sorry got the order the wrong way round been a while since I’ve fitted one of these bb’s, if I decide not to get the bb chased as that would run up a new bb aswell, would this be a safe setup keeping as is, assuming it’s all torqued to spec?

The way to sort it is to run a bottom bracket thread chasing tool through to remove the “nick”.
Any bike shop should have kit that can do this easily. If you’re simply refitting the old
BB and greasing the threads you should screw the r/h side in first then the left. If you do it the way you’re suggesting the r/h cup won’t be tight and may well work loose.
