Default Blackwing adaptor problem

I bought an adaptor to use a Blackwing on my '03 Z06. The description of this adaptor was for '01-04 Corvettes, 85mm MAF. I thought this was the correct (and only) adaptor for my car. It turns out that the adaptor has no difference in diameter from one end to the other and therefore is too big to seal the MAF. It's correct for the fit on the BW itself, but not on the MAF. I guess I bought the wrong piece? Anyone know what I should have bought?

mine was the same way, but when you tighten it, it will seal.
