Good job asking before just trying. A slight razzing here and there with a good lesson learned is much better than a damaged battery, esc, or self.

Put these new riptide pivot cups in Randal base and they are super loose is that normal or did I get the wrong cups
Thanks again homies! And just to be sure: I put the posi lead of multimeter to the short pin, and the neg lead of multimeter to long pin, and the reading was +50.4V. This means the short pin is posi and long pin neg right?

Yes it very much matters. You also need a fuse in that connection

oohh can you tell me more about that?? how do I do that/what is the purpose & what happens if I don’t use a fuse?
Yes it does
Put one of these on the negative wire

So the charge port jack negative goes to the fuse, then the black JST wire goes to the other side of the fuse
The fuse’s job is to destroy itself if there is a problem – before your battery or anything else destroy themselves
