Bronica speedgrip - ETRC

Hi all, I have just purchased a speedgrip on E-bay which was quoted as
saying 'to fit Bronica etrs' I have a Bronica etrc, and as such thought that
this speedgrip would fit this camera, however, it appears that when fitted,
it is so tight on the wind on lever of the camera (pushing upwards too far,
wont turn and I am afraid of damaging camera or both) and the shutter
release does not touch and therefore will not fire shutter. Am I wrong in
thinking this speedgrip would fit? Is it possible the speedgrip is for
another Bronica model? (It says zenza Bronica on s/grip) It would be
possible to make it fit by placing a small spacer or washer between s/grip
and camera but the screw that holds them together would be too short. Can't
see any serial no. or the like on the s/grip, is it possible to tell if this
is in fact for a Bronica etr model? TIA for any info, Steve

The ETRC is a much older model and that may have something to do with
it. Heres a compatibilty chart:
