That is not going to work, you have two different valve types over there. The brass one is the original removable valve core type. the red one is Vittorias approach and literally turns the whole system upside down. You need a classic type of valve extender here.

Since you have removable valve core go for something like this:

Your tubular valve is a standard one. The new victtoria tub uses another installation method and the extender you bought will fit the new tubs but not the one you have.
Just buy a normal extender (any brand except victtoria :noidea: )
