Make the SRBs 0.5m longer. :) Just over 22m would be closer to the actual 21.9m than the 21.6m-ish it currently is.

Are you doing standard or long fairing?
Standard fairing: 15.5m, overall 61.6 m long rocket.
Long fairing: 21.3m, overall 67.4 m long rocket.
Yours matches neither.

Dimensions are correct now, but by adaptor I meant this thing that allows you to stack satellites, sorry.

But there's nothing that says you're doing a multi-launch version, right? Just standard long version?

Still, it could be cool ;)
Just a slightly smaller fairing inside the big fairing with a payload adaptor on top? ;)

How it's supposed to work:
The adapter for the 2nd satellite is separate from the outer fairing, so when you deploy the outer fairing it stays in place. Should be doable with a fairing-in-a-fairing, using bp editing to make the inner fairing 0.2m narrower or something like that.

It only gets deployed once the upper satellite detaches safely, so that the lower satellite can detach.

Additionally it needs a place for the upper satellite to actually attach to.

You're almost there. :)
