Oh man, I rarely get a 7 inch to fit an adaptor. Find myself putting the record on the deck and THEN putting the adaptor over the top of it, and making any adjustments.
This, even The Bugs Acid Ragga aren't right. Seems a lot more popular with 7"'s, think my only 12s with this problem are Tempa releases.
Getting a different adaptor seemed to help with the issue. the flat ones that come with technics aren't very good

Yeah I ordered a new adaptor from Juno the other day actually. Hopefully sorts it. Its weird some of my old reggae ones are too big, which is odd considering they're so old.. you'd expect them to be too wide if anything. Reggae vinyl always seems to be a bit of a mess though, can always rely on them for dodgy spelling mistakes.
