Default MOE bipod adapter does not fit MOE handguard

I have a mid-length MOE S&W model that is about 3 years old. It has the Magpul MOE handguard and other Magpul features on it.
It looks like this:
MOE M-LOK Hand Guard, Mid-Length – AR15/M4

They call it MOE M-LOK now, but the appearance is identical. Based on this, I purchased a MOE M-LOK bipod adapter thru Amazon, only to find that it does not fit. The slots in the handguard are not spaced properly for this adapter, plus the slots are too narrow for the mounting tabs to fit thru them. Maybe they changed this handguard after I bought my rifle and used different slots?
This being saturday, I won't be able to call Magpul for a couple of days.
So I am wondering whether anybody else with this rifle has found a nice bipod adapter that actually does fit the underside of the handguard. If so, please recommend it.
Thanks!

The hand guard you have is a Magpul MOE... It has been replaced by the Magpul MOE MLOK... They are different products and MLOK accessories do not work with the original MOE hand guard, as you have found.

You could use something like this.

Thanks, Ray1970 and cyphertext.
I may decide to upgrade to the newer MOE M-LOK handguard, since the original MOE is no longer supported with accessories and the cost to upgrade is not high.
