Problem with Helios-44M?

I found a Helios-44M on a Zenit TTL in bad shape in an antique shop. The 44M had an Auto/M switch that seemed to work fine when switched to M (does Auto only work when the shutter button is pressed?) but the lens could not secure on the camera body (it screw until stop, but did not stay in place and unscrew back). Any idea if this is a lens or camera issue?

If you try other M42 lenses on the camera and they don't act the same way it is a good bet that it is a lens problem.

Maybe missing screws on the back of the lens.
