Does anyone know the correct set up for gxp bottom brackets?

I've got everything set up and ready to instal but I'm unsure about spacers. I'm using a hope road bottom bracket with the correct shims to work with gxp cranks. It will all go in fine, the non drive side bearings clamp in as they should and it all spins etc. The worry I have is that the drive side crank arm protudes about a mm from the drive side cup, as in you can see a mm or so of the axle between the two. Is this a problem?

The crank set sits where it should in terms of chain line (I think) as this is set by the non drive side cup clamped by the crank arm. I could reduce the gap by adding another spacer, but does it make a difference?

I can take pictures if that's all a little too confusing. Well tomorrow when I've go the tools to put the bb in.

Mine came without spacers, is fine. YMMV
