This website says all backs are compatible between the models. I bought a Pro body and my Pro-S back does not fit. There is a hole in the Pro-S body that does not exist on the Pro, and a stud on the Pro-S back that hits. What does this little stud do? This is sort of annoying.

The Pro-S backs work well on the Pro - you just have to do without the interlocks.

Which revolving adapter do you have installed?

The RB in RB67 stands for Revolving Back.

The revolving back is what the film back attaches to.

Zip up to 3:05, then again to 6:00.

The camera manual includes a useful chart which shows the various combinations of adapters available for the RB67 and the uses they are put to.

I asked which one you have, in case you have something different.
