So
You are saying I need to increase the distance between the camera and scope, thanks

the question becomes "how much distance?"
for an estimate and confirmation this will solve your focus problem deteach the camera from the scope, focus the scope on something with eyepiece and (get a friend) open the shutter on the camera with no lens or anything attached and just hold it steady in position as if it was attached so you can see the target on the live view, move the camera forward as if winding in the focuser and repeat moving outwards. Observe the live view, is it getting sharper or blurrier whwen you moving closer to scope? if clearer and it touches the focuser without achieving focus your combination wont work. More likely it'll get cleaer as you move it back and try to hold it still at the point it seems perfectly focused and get friend to measure the gap between scope and camera mounts, thats about the size spacer you need to get.
