Unfortunately, it seems that the threads on the interior of the drive side crank have been mangled slightly so I can't get the cover to thread in smoothly, and I assume that's not correctable so I'm going sans caps.
Thanks all.

You’re going to need those threads to use a crank puller when you want to remove them. You should tap the threads to chase them...as suggested earlier...very carefully.
