Did you have any air in the tube? If not you can pull it out and put just a bit of air in the tube that should push the stem through. Can't imagine that rim was made to use an extension.
Just enough for shape. I let that little bit out because I had a heck of a time getting the tire on. It’s super tight on the rim. I tried to press the stem up by pressing through the tire. I even pulled the stem up with channel locks. It just won’t stay up.
 
Sometimes I just have to stop before I start throwing things. The front tire should be easy. But it was a bear to get on. Then when I did, I can’t get the stem to pop out far enough to get the pump on it. It’s a deep rim, so I figured I can find an extended stem tube… but I’ve looked. Nothing. So I’ve hit a wall I can’t see around. Time for a break.

Are the spokes loose? One looks like it's not seated.
