If it had a flap and spermathecae then it wouldn't currently be a mature male. Maybe what you thought was spermathecae were actually the male accessory organs.

emboli [+ tibial spurs] = mature male (the reason I put brackets around the tibial spurs is because not all MMs get them)

The "white bubbles" beneath the palps are emboli...they'll turn red when he hardens up.

There's nothing wrong with your tarantula, you just incorrectly sexed it. For future reference, this is what B. albo spermathecae look like:
