I want to install a new shower head but the threaded male portion of the ball joint adapter is too short.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking a short extension is a good solution but I cannot find one that would work.

This is for my apartment, so I cannot perform any major construction.

Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

not 100% sure what problem you're describing, but i once had a problem where the thing wouldnt screw in properly until i replaced the washer with a thinner washer, to give it more thread to grip.

There might by a water saver gasket in the female end. It's just a rubber washer, take it out and see of that helps.

Sounds to me like he might need a thicker washer. Either way, its an easy fix. Good luck, kid...

You should be able to install a longer shower arm pretty easily. They usually just unscrew.

Yeah, then the ell moves away from the hole because the riser wasn't fixed in place and OP can't get the new one or the old one back in.
Also, OP being an idiot who can't even attach a shower head does manage to get the new shower arm in but failed to prep and torque it properly and it leaks behind the wall doing thousand dollar damage.
