Agreed. I will probably take the adapter out and hold it next to the tube. I wonder if it is as simple as making the clamp engage the front of the tube instead of the back?
Dimension makes an adapter with 118mm distance from min insertion to the top. My current adapter is 63.5mm. It probably won't be a precise solution, but might work. Here's a link:
