Player one Neptune C (IMX178 colour sensor) back focus distance

Does anyone know the correct back focus distance for the player one Neptune colour camera with the IMX178 sensor?
I've been through every instruction I can find online but am either blind or stupid ( possibly both)

I'm trying to get a normal Nikon full frame lens focused and thinking it could possibly be 55mm approximately like many cameras seem to use (12.5mm from face to sensor). I played with the 42mm (x 0.75 pitch) to Nikon adapter but just couldn't get the correct spacing and setting the lens focal position on 0.8 metres and focusing on something exactly 8 feet away didn't help.
I have purchased an assortment of 0.75mm pitch x 42mm adapters from AliExpress and they should be here next Monday or Tuesday but I should have something here till they arrive. I guess clouded skies it doesn't matter for a few days.
Once I get it close in the house I can go out and play at infinity.
It works fine as it is with a telescope if I can remember where I set the focus, it will be jotted down in one of 100 note pads somewhere with a bit of my gear......
