Oct 1, 2020 at 16:24 comment added Michael C Canon always recommends attaching lenses to extension tubes and extenders/TCs before attaching the back end of the tubes/extenders/TCs to the camera. Even when the camera is turned off there is still some minimal power flowing to monitoring things. I do not know if that includes the lens mount. But if you insert a battery with the camera turned off, the "memory card activity" light will light up for a few seconds as the camera checks the status of any inserted memory card.
Oct 1, 2020 at 15:29 comment added jbh168 @MichaelC no, I didn't. Should I have done that? I always turned off the camera though. But the lens didn't always click in place correctly on the connection tube as the connection tube(s) connectors had a little bit of play, so this might have yielded a result similar to detaching the lens from the tube(s) without disconnecting the tube(s) from the camera first.
