Default Problem with purchased tube doors

I bought some new tube doors off Amazon and while they look great, I have a problem attaching them.

To secure the doors, the instructions say to use the nut form the original door nuts. Problem is the nut doesn't fit the new doors. How would I go about finding a replacement nut? I reached out to the sellers, but don't expect to get a solution from them.

Go to a nut store.
Send them back to Amazon.

What brand? When searching, it seems most tube doors on Amazon are EAG. They are a sponsor here, or were at least not long ago. If they are EAG you might PM them. I'd strongly consider sending em back though if you can do a free UPS drop off or something though. If the factory nuts don't match the manufactured door they are supposed to, that should be a red flag in regard to quality.

Ended up going to Ace Hardware, buying a 6mm dye and re-threaded the bolts. They fit and are looking great.
