Thanks for the image which explains the problem.

On your lens (which has an C/Y (Contax/Yashica) mount), a chipped adapter "C/Y to EF" has been screwed on - it appears to be something like this:
Adapter C/Y EF or Adapter C/Y EF 
Sittatunga has given a perfect description of the situation.

If you should choose to remove the currently attached adapter: it should be possible to do so by first pushing (pulling?) the thin locking spring which is attached by two screws and then just turning the adapter.
Adapters for using C/Y lenses on RF cameras are readily available for about 20-25 $/€.
