OK, So I guess I had a legitimate situation here and Wolves from the RF forum seemed to have an appropriate solution to all my concerns.
I`d like to post them here just for general information to everyone.

"Collapsibles often won't work on a body that didn't come with one originally. Bodies using collapsible lenses have a thicker lens-mount flange to allow for the infinity-lock pin to depress as the lens is pushed to infinity. The cure, if you really want to use the lens, is to remove the infinity-lock pin. Other than that there's no issue.
On the FED 2, as spyderman says, you can bend the RF sensor arm up a fraction, it's common for them to be too low. Do it gently and only bend it a little, nothing should break. Check for correct working on the lens-cam afterwards - take the back off and see that the sensor still rides on the rotating lens cam."
