Your brother simply bought the wrong device for your lens. Skip Douglas

Your brother simply bought the wrong device for your lens. If you get the correct adapter, you will need to remove the filter completely and screw the adapter to the front of your lens where the filter was. yep, wrong size, i can only suggest returning it as there's no way of getting that to fit.

Using a step-down ring is definitely]NOT a good idea because the wide-angle adapter is smaller than your lens. If it were the other way around, it might work. Don't waste your money. Return (best move) or exchange (second best) the device. Skip Douglas

I wrote that it is a way to get it to fit. But you will probably get severe vignetting.
