Desperate: K-Mount 50mm to Canon Adapter loose.

I recently purchased this lens adapter to mount a vintage Pentax 50 to my old Rebel XT to use this upcoming weekend for some Christmas fun.

Upon arrival, it technically fit both the lens and my Rebel, but it wobbles just a bit when adjusting the focus ring, and I believe as a result, getting pictures in focus is hit or miss, despite the fact that they look in-focus in the viewfinder while I’m shooting. For example, all 4 of the following shots looked crisp to my eyes, but after import, it’s pretty much a 50/50 chance (no matter the fstop).

Is this being caused by the not-quite-tight-enough fit of the lens adapter? The spring appears to be just a little to short to hold it in place tightly. Or, is this a common occurrence with adapting SLR lenses? Is it all my fault, perhaps?
