Ok, received my in the mail today too. Mine did the same as yours.
I have a Knight LRH which should have the same bolt set up as the extreme. However, the piece that fits on the end of the bolt (original Piece) slips on without effort.
When I went to slide the new piece in, it wedged about 1/2 way in. I had to use a small wooden mallet to get it to seat all the way into the bolt. Anyone know if that is how it is supposed to fit? Once it got it fully seated, the bolt slid into the gun and would lock down.
It will be a pretty major thing to remove it for cleaning as well.
I am also wondering it this is how it is supposed to be?

To be honest with you the primer adapter should slide into the bolt just as the Knight adapter does.
The problem may be the width of the slot in the primer adapter. If you look at the slot in the Lehigh it is a little tighter than the Knight adapter.

Dumb question time on my part.... When you installed the BP did you use a deep socket or the Knight tool? There is some question if the Knight tool will install the Lehigh Breech Plug all the way to the seated position?
Question for both of you? to make sure I am understanding - when you go to drop the primer adapter into/onto the face of the bolt it is not dropping in place? txhunter58 you are saying that you needed to drive the adapter into place???? Can you tell me where you think the bind might have been?

Yes, I had to drive it into place, and I am not sure how I will get it off.
Now a new problem. Fired off two primers. They both fired great, even had some flame come out the end of the barrel. HOWEVER, when I went to pull the bolt back, it would not come back. I had to apply probably 50 lbs of pressure to get the primer to let go (I use Remington STS primers)
I have had some primers stick after shooting before with the regular set up, but it didn't take anywhere near as much force to get the bolt back as now. I mean, I thought I would have to use my hammer to get it back! Not sure what I can do about that, but it won't be good in the field. AND that was with a primer only. What will happen when I have powder and a bullet in front of it???
