I don't think the problem is the cable release. I am less
familiar with the F than older Rolleis so I don't know if
this applies, but, in the older cameras there is a pin in
the cable release socket that is acted on by the release and
in turn operates the tripping lever inside the camera. If
this pin is missing the cable release will not work
correctly. Its possible that it may have been lost during
the CLA.
