Minor problem with inserting seat post. Hidden clamp was probably slightly to big. Vendor sent replacement, but meanwhile i striped black colour from it,  and that was enough to insert it.

Stuck at the progress at the moment, because waiting for handlebar...

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002440079867.html
T47-24(86.5mm)for shimano crank, use the 1mm shim on nds (supplied)

Can this be verified as true info? I can not find proper info about that. Frame is 86,5 mm and I am installing GRX600 2x10 crankset. I got three shims 1/2/3 mm width
Also ordered specific tool for BB T47, 48,5/49 mm width.

in my direct experience with ultegra crankset and without shims it touch and grinds the BB. with 1mm shim is ok. maybe grx crankset is different. just do a try.
i cant post a pic now, but i can do it later, if you wanna see grinded nds crankarm and bb :'(

I finished my bike and made some 20 km but there is a problem:

Everything is properly tightened but it is not ok to have such play/woble on bottom bracket.

From what I can see, it looks like the BB is not moving in the frame, so it could be a problem with the bearings maybe?

Edit: just remove the crank and look what is causing this problem. With this kind of movement it should be obvious where the problem is.

I do not understand what do you mean BB is not moving in the frame. BB is tightened. Bearings move. I have removed crank and spindle of crankset have to much play inside BB. Means tolerance on BB is fucked up. I contacted seller but they refuse to warranty that since several month passed from delivery.
I will order new one but avoid Kactus BB cause they are no good.

If you can, just get a BB from a decent brand and not from Ali. My experience with Ali bb's has not been great and I will use Shimano from now on where I can.

I installed this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003015711873.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.68bf1802WVtcti

This fits GRX600 tight as should. Also do not need 1 mm shim.
