You can get frankencar's apexi adapter. Not cheap but it's built like a **** brick house.

this is how my apexi filter and frankencar adapter work:

Standard (3" I believe) MAF adapter on the MAF.

Frankencars aluminum adapter on the filter.

Silicone coupler going over both adapters connecting the two, using T-bolts to clamp down the silicone coupler.

can't tell by your pics becuse I can't see the adapter you have connected to the filter. It looks like you have a silicone coupler over the filter adapter held in place with a clamp. Is this correct? If it is, the try putting the silicone coupler over the adapter on the MAF.
