I installed the crankset a long time ago and didn't actually finish the bike for quite a while and probably forgot to check it before finishing the bike which was on me and not a fault of the crankset.
I would say it was installed correctly. this happened after a couple 1000 miles on an ultegra crankset on an uphill climb. broke halfway across on the drive side arm.
