New macro ring light not firing - NX30

Hi all.

Just recently bought a macro ring light for my nx30 - I think I've made the classic mistake of thinking that it would fire off the centre pin (this despite the description advising that the flash works with canon, nikon Pentax etc).

Anyways flash does not fire when on the hot shoe but does fire if I put it in the receiver Yongnuo trigger.  It has a contestant on feature which is really what I wanted it so still usable but would be great if the flash worked in the hot shoe.

Is there any relatively easy fix or should I just learn my lesson and be a bit more cautious when buying generic stuff?
