Yes you are probably right. If you look back at some of the included images regarding the no go situation, you will find that the lens mount has a chamfered edge which is the offending party. If you think about how many degrees you turn a lens to mount it, you would have to dress that edge for only the part that interferes when mounting the lens. I doubt that a lot of thickness would have to be removed to clear the misfit.

Ladies and gentlemen,
If we stop and think for a minute... It might be possible to dress the offending portion of this ring with an appropriate miniature file capable of cutting the material in a small amount of time. If the adjacent areas are masked appropriately the fine adjustment which is probably no longer than two centimeters could avoid having to send the lens back to Sigma. It is also likely that since the mount is silver in color, that no one would ever know and the K1 would not be damaged in the future. Just a thought, not advice.


Regards,
Balticbelle
