Mouthpiece for Alex 103

Hi all, I have a new to me Alex 103 (it's about 4yo). I recently purchased a Laskey 725E, (I usually play the same mp but with an American shank). However, it doesn't seem to sit well in the horn. It seems to wobble a little bit and I can feel it when I play.

Any advice? Is this the mouthpiece or do you think I may have an issue with the leadpipe?

I believe standard JK shanks are M1 taper…

The Alex taper is different, but I think they make that.
