Front license plate bolt size?

Hey guys. Sorry if this is answered already but I couldn’t find it. I replaced the dealer license plate frames on my F56 MCS with the oem blackjack ones.

The rear hatch frame fit fine with the supplied screws in the package, but the front license plate adapter thing attached to the bumper has holes bigger than the screws supplied with the new frame. I used the “old” fatter screws that held the “Motorwerks” frame, but I misplaced one. Anyone know the size of the bolt or where I can get a new one? Like I said my front holes are larger girthwise than my rear holes (insert joke).

I got replacements at AutoZone in a 4 pack so they are pretty common sizes
