So I got it to work. I emailed Vortex and they were extremely helpful. The guy emailed me back within like an hour or two and then emailed me again after hours from his blackberry! I'm extremely impressed by their customer service. Apparently I had the adapter on upside down and it's actually useless. All it's for is to make it a more snug fit into the triple hole thingy. On my F4i I've got about 1/4" between the stand and the plastics so it's not pushing on them which is good. =)
