To use a Schneider-Kreuznach Angulon 1:6.8/90mm on a CC400 do I need to use a recessed board?

I did that combo once, and I think I had to use the recessed board. Pain in the ---you know where---. If it focusses without the recessed board, you won't get any movement because of the compressed bellows. Even with the recessed board, I couldn't move the lens much. Not that it has much image beyond covering the 4x5.

I still have the Angulon, though not the CC400. I like that little lens.
