I have similar problem. All the cheap EXA and Minolta adapter I bought are unable to mount the lens properly and retain a good infinity. The adapter from Kipon are OK but the infinity is off. My friend made EXA adapter with the mount from a broken EXA camera. It mounts the lens firmly but the infinity is off. In my experience, even the most expensive adapter made in the China(Kipon) don't have good infinity(with the exception the some of the adapters made by Yeenon).

If the infinity is just slightly off, you could try to add spacer(copper sheet) under the front mount. If the mount is rattling, you can try to adjust the adapter http://forum.mflenses.com/guide-on-adjusting-the-tightness-of-bayonet-type-adaptor-t37041.html .

The best adapter in the market are the one made in Japan by Rayqual http://www.rayqual.com/ . Theses adapters are quiet expensive(about $150 in ebay for most NEX adapters) but works like a charm(mounting are firm, infinity are accurate). Sadly, they don't make and AR to NEX adapter as the market is small.

You may try this adapter Click here to see on Ebay . I bought a Leica R to NEX adapter from the same brand and I am satisfied with the result. The infinity is a bit off like the other adapter but the adapter works well on both lens and camera side(I tried Leica R 90 F2 and F2.8 and the Leica R adaptall 2 mount).

Yes. I have one too. Quality is OK. My copy is too thin like the other adapters.
