IR sensor does not fit in MK2.5s upgrade - I think I printed the wrong parts

I am upgrading my mk2 (not "s") to mk2.5s. I made it to Step 6 of Section 4 and realized that the IR sensor has an additional protrusion that prevents it from fitting into the extruder body as printed. My assessment is that I must have downloaded and printed the wrong parts (I guess the MK2.5 parts). 

My question is this - what other parts should I print? Is the extruder body the ONLY different part between mk2.5 and m2.5s? Thankfully I have an additional printer so I can do this if necessary, but I don't have lots of extra filament.

The sensor has 3 pins and says "PRUSA Rev0.4" on the PCB, like the red one shown here:

Here is the assembly manual page 

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I think you have made an error 
you show the Mk2.5S IR filament sensor, and
you show the Mk2.5 Laser Filament sensor housing... 

I think you need this assembly guide
https://help.prusa3d.com/en/tag/mk2-5s/


this is the housing that is required for the Mk2.5S IR filament sensor
