Regulator not fitting CO2 tank

I recently started gathering equipment for home water carbonation and collected my CO2 tank today to find the regulator I purchased does not fit it.

I am based in Ireland, here is the regulator I purchased: https://www.schankanlagen-koch.de/AfG-Hauptdruckminderer-CO2-Druckminderer-Hauptdruckregler-HIWI-Euskirchen-3-bar-1499.html

And here is the gas tank:

As you can see the fittings are completely different, the tank has a female connection while the regulator expects a male. The regulator is for CO2 and the tank is pure CO2 not a mixture or other gas...what have I done wrong? Can I get an adaptor?

Some companies use mixed gas hardware for CO2 gas, this is a mixed gas (argon/CO2) fitting and needs a different connection to a standard CO2 fitting.

Adapters are available and the gas company should be able to advise.
