Have to admit that while my initial experience with the installation was less than satisfying, the company's after sale support gets highest marks for their efforts trying to help resolve the issues.

Where are we with this? Any resolution? Is your frame OK?

Damage was negligable and BBInfinite sent me a replacement, which I was able to install by placing a drift from a bearing press into the drive side to act as a guide and center the BBInfinite assembly as I carefully pressed it the rest of the way into the drive side.

Super. Where those BB86 frames with all-carbon bottom bracket shells?

they were bb386 ya (ETA: uninterrupted, clean bb "tube" [yay BH Bikes!]). OPs pics with the interrupted/hollow BB shell..i mean...thats just common sense not to try to jam somethign in there. no direct experience with such a design, but that's my take.

no offense intended. very sorry about the frame.
