Help me frame and focus on GG with HVX and m2e...

OK so I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but it has.. I've tried looking for video tutorials but nothing has solved my problem.

So I just got the m2e indie bundle package and the follow focus lens kit yesterday. I've tried setting up the adapter and took some test shots but I noticed I couldn't zoom in far enough to properly frame the ground glass.. I can get as close as a M82 and Z11 with having just 1 spacer in between the m2e and my camera (with the 82-72 step down ring and the big blue ring.. not sure what it really does) but then I cant zoom any closer because I can't focus on the ground glass...

Can anyone give me step by step on how I should be setting this thing up? I'm really surprised there were no notes in the package to tell me how to set the adapter up with my HVX (since I'm pretty sure I picked what camera I was buying the adapter for when I purchased it online)...

Any help will be appreciated!

So in summary.. can't frame ground glass properly because when I zoom in to the desired framing, I can't focus on it. And I didn't get the microX either...
