Frustrating time with the MCEX-11 extension tube

I went out with my TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 and the MCEX-11. It was very difficult to focus. None of the Fujifilm X-T3 manual focusing aids helped. I did better moving the camera in and out. I understand about the DOF being very thin, but I was still surprised at the difficulty. I only got one that was close to being in focus, and that seemed like the luck of the draw. The only thing that worked was taking the MCEX-11 off the camera, remounting the 50mm lens and putting the MCEX-11 in my pocket.

This is with the tube, before I stumbled on the MCEX-11 pocket solution.
