First, it sounds like you have a bad adapter. Second, any time you have a lens that is bigger/heavier than the body - even if that body is a 5D without any adapters - it is always best to support the combination by the lens. Think of a big lens with body as a lens with body attached, not a body with lens attached. When I shoot with my 70-200 on a DSLR, I always support the weight with my left hand under the lens. If I walk around with that combination hanging from a strap, I always have one hand on the lens. I would do the same with my M6 and anything bigger/heavier than the EF-M lenses.
BUT, you still need to replace your defective adapter.
