Yep Holder cups sounds better. That doesn't mean that in other contexts it couldn't mean stopper (or similar). A rarity...

I've finally decided to use the term (holder cups). I've pieced that together based on pictures in the text (without any names given with the picture). Each bottle is held in place during washing in a holder.

Try one of the several synonyms of "stopper" if you don't like it. What do you call the thing that stops stuff coming out of the bottle, jar, or other type of container.

vaso de sujeción Is there any other text that may go with this? It seems very vague, and I am not sure that "stopper" fits this translation....

I'm addressing the whole phrase "vasos de sujeción de frascos".
From the brief context provided, it appears that they recommend using the stoppers or lids of beakers or similar containers to adjust the "barras", whatever they may be. We'd need more contextual information to provide a better suggestion.

For example, it could simply be how they refer to part of the apparatus used for cleaning the vials/bottles.

What are the "barras" referred to and what is their function?

You can clearly see it refers to the bottom part that holds the other part in place. "Barras" might refer to the threading of the stopper (or whatever you decide to call it)...
