Lens extension compatibility

I’m trying to do the lens upgrade but I’ve tried two different M12 lens extensions and neither of them seem to fit the threads on the sensor/board. Has anyone else had this issue? Suggestions welcome.

Yes, sometimes, the chintzy plastic of the lens mount on the sensor board are just destroyed when you remove the lens (or even from the factory perhaps?). If it doesn't easily thread on with a couple tries, buy and install a new lens mount to the sensor board.

Thanks for that. So the lens mount is replaceable…how does one look for/find a 1:1 replacement?
