epub to mobi 3 files instead of 1

I'm a basic user, so forgive this question: I have an epub file I want to publish for Kindle using KDP. I have converted it to mobi using kindlegen and also using calibre, and I prefer the way it looks when calibre converts it. Only problem is calibre produces a mobi file, the cover jpg file, and the opf file rather than one (bigger) mobi file containing all three (which is what kindlegen does). Result, when I open the calibre-generated mobi file with Kindle Previewer, the cover image doesn't show up.

1. Can I use the calibre generated mobi file for KDP? Do I upload just the mobi file and not the jpg or opf files?
2. If I do this, will my kindle book have the cover problems I described above, and will it validate?

Sorry for being stupid about this.
