Try this beauty - mine arrived today, fits near perfectly and looks great and it's not to big like others - this makes it not very noticeably in the viewfinder while focusing - I forgot to check what it looks like at first after focusing on a few things LOL 
(just gotta be careful screwing and unscrewing I think - I sure am happy)

You might want to doublecheck your photos corners now.
Based on my personal experience with a quite similar classic Sonnar 50/1.4 design, this lens hood might be slightly too narrow and too long and so, might intrude in the lens field of view.
Keep in mind that this can be checked at infinity and narrowest apertures only, contrarily to what you'll probably read here and there.
Shoot the sky and close your diaphragm to f/8~f/16 with color slide film or fine B&W film - don't use C41 film, they're too tolerant to underexposure now.
IMO a nice CNC machined screw-in 43mm copy of the tilted-vented Leitz 12585 hood is the best choice for the Nikkor-S 50/1.4.

I bought a similar hood for the same kind of lens, and though the hood worked well, the threads were not quite right, so it did not screw on very easily. When I tried to remove the hood, the front half of the lens came off instead. Putting it back together was not a problem, but I won't use the hood again. These hoods have a cheap price because they are not particularly well made.

Classic Nikkor RF lenses have 1.5 threads pitch. Modern screw-in accessories have 1.75 threads pitch.
Yet it is fully possible to screw some 1.75 filters and hoods on 1.5 lenses front rings if the modern accessories threads are well machined.
The recent series of those third party CNC tilted and vented hoods are better in that respect, for the same price as the former plain or tapered vented hoods - all being sold by the same group of now well known eBay sellers.
