Thank you Stanley, you've been a great help. 
Sometimes the simple low-tech solutions are the best. 
I trimmed back the bulky strain relief section of the plug lead so that it could flex away more easily.
Then I trimmed back by about 2mm the plug moulding around the metal screen collar and tested to see how far it went in - still all the way.
So I kept going as far as seemed sensible, removing about 5mm of plastic in total. It was then a much firmer fit. 
I think the moulding needs to be trimmed back so that it's 2mm to 3mm "behind" the block inside the plug that the contact pins protrude from.
That will avoid fouling the back of the RNS-D case and allow the plug to be fully inserted.
It's the type of plug used in this Kufatec adapter:
Tested and reassembled, well sort of, the cables aren't totally tidy and the RNS isn't quite seated both sides.
So I need to go back and realign it sometime when my bad back doesn't object to leaning over to do it.
But I now have a good picture on both TV (PAL) and reversing camera (NTSC).
