problem with NM Engineering Torque Arm Inserts- 2007 Minis ??

Just received my NM torque arm bushings in the mail... Couldn't help but notice the fine print on the directions saying:
R55's 2008 and up
R56's 2008 and up, etc. etc.

OH FREAK. I have a 2007 S. It was either a July or August build, maybe September, with mid October pickup... ?

Haven't yet checked to see... But I thought the whole Circle Vs. (other geometrical shape) had to do with Poly Engine mounts/bushings...

I thought the NM Engineering Torque Arm inserts were A-Okay for all new Minis... ? Anyone have PROBLEMS or FITMENT ISSUES with theirs???

A little freaked out right now... :/ Please help.

Mini changed the design of the torque arm between 2007 and 2008+. The NM eng insert is only for 2008 +. Do you think it can be returned? I think other manufacturers, perhaps Mini Madness has one for 2007.
