BINO MOUNT??..HELP REALLY APPRECIATED

Hello all,
I'm a newbie who has just received his first purchase....
*Orion Resolux 15*70mm
*Orion Paragon-P mount + tripod 
Love the bino's and the tripod seems nice and solid but
I've got a PROBLEM  with my MOUNT!!!!
Pic 1 shows how the mount adaptor fits snugly to a friends'
7*50 Bino's.....
Pic 2 shows how the adaptor is WAAAY to big for my Resolux's
and are digging into the rubber frame.As well,because they
cannot screw in fully they are not tight,but quite loose!!
Pic's 3/4/5...show me attaching the adaptor that was
supplied with the bino's.They are a perfect fit,BUT the
altitude range of movement is rendered as good as useless
so it's not practical.Sorry folks,maybe I'm missing something here and not attaching it correctly,but I can't
see how this adaptor can be attached differently 
The pic showing the close-up underside view of the bino
adaptor attached to the L-bracket...gives an indication,
I think, of how the Bino adaptor needs to be fitted in the
location where the 2 allen screws are!!!!
Pic. 6 shows me taking the L-bracket off!!
Pic 7 shows how it would be GREAT if the other adaptor
could be attached(because it's the one I need)!!
Pic 8 shows my dilemma in thinking of attaching this
adaptor 
I'm HOPING  somebody out there has bought this model
Mount/Tripod with 15*70 Bino's and has an answer to my
problem.Maybe I just need to seek out a "Handyman" who's
got the tools+skills to attach the good adaptor to my Mount,
in some way 
Sorry folks if some feedback here tells me I should have
done more substantive research BEFORE purchasing......
I made the mistake thinking that since both bino + mount
were from the same manufacturer they would SURELY be
compatible...the Orion website said that the mount was
compatible with bino's of up to 80mm,but as a newbie I
failed to forsee this "connection problem"
I'll finish off now,and apologies if this post has been a
bit looooong....it's just that I'm in a bit of a quandry
and don't know what to do....
MANY THANKS,
DAVID.........
