Lens not mounting on a Leica #14198 Macro-Elmarit-R Adapter

Just picked up a 14198 from the German version of that auction site for my 60R/2.8. I can't mount the lens on the adapter. The adapter mounts fine on the R4.

 

It looks like the partial ring just above the bayonet where the lens goes is off by a couple of centimeters to one side. The notch on the lens that is below the aperture ring by the "E55" marking on the mount catches on the ring and this keeps the lens from mounting.

 

I have tried pushing on the ring, but it does not seem to want to move. Does anyone know if it can be moved and if so how I go about dislodging it?

 

Thanks,

Carl
