NO, you cannot do this.
There is no way, no method, no hack, no workaround, no trick to get a backup from a more recent version of SQL Server back into an older version.
It just doesn’t work – it’s not supported.
You’ll need to synchronize your structure using some kind of SQL diff tool, and possibly your data by exporting and importing, e.g. via the “Data Export / Import” wizard or some custom way.
