Just managed to open one of your oversized pics and it looks like you have the correct inside plates mounted but the outside plates should also have slots in them like these ones that come with the BXT frames.  Don't see how you can make a QR work if you have to thread the qr axle through a hole every time.

You are correct, like your post above the frame doesn't come with the exterior QR inserts so they are useless. I'm going to probably get a new thru axle and thru hub (microspline), respoke the wheel and use the thru axle. I'll get a set of BB92 cranks and sell my unused parts. I'm trying to make the bike 100% aliexpress for fun. I appreciate everyones comments, I have read them all even if I might not have replied

I'm not surprised you're confused. There are too many different "standards" floating around today. I've been tinkering with bikes for decades, and I had to study up on current crank and bottom bracket interfaces before I could confidently order parts for my upcoming build. If this is your first build... it's a small miracle these are the only incompatibilities you've found.

#1: Those are through-axle dropouts. The threads on the right side dropout are a dead giveaway. Did the frame come with the 135mm QR dropouts as well? The AliExpress product page claims they are included. If not, OG-Evkin should send them to you, or at least sell you another pair.

#1a: You can swap the freehub on many aftermarket rear hubs to mount different kinds of cassettes. Some vendors sell the freehubs separately, as accessories. That way if you bought a Hyperglide compatible freehub (as you did), but bought a groupset that requires SRAM XD or Shimano Microspline, you only have to buy the appropriate freehub to make everything work. Swapping freehubs only takes a couple of minutes. They literally pull right off and push back on.

These look like the hubs that your wheels were built on: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002776490769.html

And the vendor you bought the wheels from sells Pasak freehubs: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003418633660.html

If that replacement hub you bought is genuine Shimano, you probably won't be able to swap freehubs on it.

#1b: I can see how the ad for the wheelset would confuse you about 12 speed compatibility. Yes, you can put a 12 speed cassette on a Shimano Hyperglide style hub - but you can't put a _Shimano_ 12 speed cassette on it. The low-end SRAM 12 speed (GX?) groupsets would work, as would any number of Chinese knock-offs. Like I said... too many standards.

#2: The bottom bracket that came with your crankset is BSA threaded with external bearings. Your frame requires a BB92 press-in BB, with the bearings inside the BB ends. You will need to buy a BB92 bottom bracket. They're not very expensive. You can have a shop install the BB, or you can spend another US$20 or so on a cheap BB press kit. Too many standards!

I hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.

Thank you for the reply, this is my first build

#1 The OG Evkin frame came with 6 dropouts, 2x exterior, and 4x interior (QR set, & Thru) I have the QR interior set installed (see photos) and the Thru axle exterior are the only exterior pieces I have and that OGE frame includes. That's what is confusing me, how these exterior Thru dropouts work with the interior QR. If I remove the exterior thru dropouts the carbon dropout frame would be exposed beneath, doesn't seem right.

#1a I asked on a different form if replacing the freehub was possible and all the responses said it wasn't and I would need another hub. I trusted the info and bought another micro spline hub, it wasn't much more expensive than buying a free hub so not a big deal.  I have a shimano microspline freehub on my shimano hub (135mm) I respoked the original rear wheel, I have one of those spoke torque measure devices so I know it's decent, took a while to true the wheel rotating.

#1b I haven't reached the step of mounting the cassette because of all the hub issues and axle issues I was having, I'll see how it goes after I figure out. If I can't figure out how to get this QR to fit, I might as well as switch to a thru axle microspline hub to solve the issue

#2 I have a BB92 press fit installed on the frame, I did buy one. but the crankshaft is like 1cm too short with the new BB92 installed. I attached a photo showing the gap it left. Is it fine to ride on? I got the nice deore cranks so I don't wan't to waste more money on longer cranks (I will if I have to)

I started this build a little over a year ago, looking at random parts on aliexpress and trying to piece together a bike. I have been very busy with work/school and put this on the backburner. I am close to finished, need advice on some things

2 Problems I am having

Problem #1 is I bought a microspline groupset without knowing what that was, I had to replace the rear hub with a 135mm microspline. i have the QR dropouts in the frame, but the axle is not long enough to reach and screw in. I'm wondering how this QR setup is supposed to work, I tried to ask OG-Evkin but I got this frame on accident (Ordered and lost at DHL for months, DHL claimed total loss, so I was refunded, then it arrived one day). OG Evkin said I shouldn't have a frame from them and refuses to help me. I don't want to buy a thru-axle because I already spent all this $$$ on a new rear hub and re-spoked my wheel with it. I could buy a new rear hub but that is last resort. what am I doing wrong with my setup for a QR axle.

Problem #2 is the cranks-shaft length is slightly too short (BB52) frame is (BB92), will it be fine? I can't screw that end cap in, see picture attached.
Some but not all parts are listed below. thank you
