M42 to PL adapted MIR-1v... What am I doing wrong?

Hey all, I have an interesting problem I'm hoping someone could help with.

I recently bought two gorgeous Russian lenses, a Helios 44-2, and a MIR-1v. Today, I finally had delivered two M42-PL adapters, with the intention of using these lenses on my Sony F5 (which itself is adapted from FZ to PL... It's a headache, I know.)

Here's where the issue arrived.

The Helios adapted fine, if maybe a little tight, but the MIR-1v sits right against the PL mount, restricting the focus ring entirely- it cannot move without extreme force. I have some follow focus rings coming in the next month or so, would the extra torque help move the ring? I'm worried that if I try and force it, it'll pop out of the adapter completely and smash!

Has anyone else encountered something like this when adapting their lenses/cine modding lenses? Please help!
