strange micro 4/3 adapter

I bought recently an MFT adapter (fotga) with unusual feature. To mount a lens on gx7 one has to turn the lens, with the adapter on, about 330 deg clockwise, and to unmount the lens it has to be turned also clockwise about 30 deg (with the release button pressed). This is ackward because to mount the lens it has to be turned almost all the way round.

I have another MFT adapter which is "normal", to mount a lens it has to be turned a little clockwise and to unmount, counter clockwise.

I didn't know that two systems exists, I wouldn't buy it if I knew.

The question is: is it possible to modify the 1st adapter so it behave in normal way?

Thanks for suggestions in advance
