Struggling to mount rev counter coupling

I am converting from a Vic Camp style rev counter drive to a cam drive. I recently bought a rev counter coupling but I am struggling to align/mount the cam cover. If I lay it flat the cover is too high for the mounting. If I align the holes the cover stands proud of the head.
What am I doing wrong? Is the coupling too long? Should the slot in the cam be deeper?

You may have bought a coupling for a Ducati bevel V-twin. That coupling is longer than the single cylinder one.

Starting to suspect that as well. Lacey/bevelsingle didnt have in stock for a while so bought from somewhere else..
Will measure tonight. How long should the single one be? Is it correct that twin one is 13mm long?

The single cylinder coupling is 11mm long.
