Remove the insert & affix the wax paper to the approximate film plane on the film side of the body.
It's very common for lenses like this to have the focusing ring shift over time.There should be three set screws under the focusing grip. If any two or three have loosened it would allow the ring to shift. Most frequently when I've seen this the lens tends to focus more closely than indicated.
