Arrow Easy pic request: headlight assembly alignment pins

Does anyone have pictures of the headlight housing alignment pins that key into the superstructure?

I am mostly concerned about what the original nuts and “alignment pegs” look like, I don't know if mine have been modified or something strange, but they have never looked correct, and I would like to correct this little detail if possible.

Any detailed pictures of the hardware individually pictured,mounted, anything that would help get a feel for what they looked like as shipped stock OEM condition please.

Right now I have flanged nuts on there that barely catch a thread or two, and it bothers me that they don't look correct, and I have not been able to find a detailed picture of what I am looking for.

Thank you in advance for facilitating such a silly request.

Its quite silly, but the length of the alignment pins that plug into the unibody superstructure are/seem too short, and I would like to see what the original factory supplied hardware looks like so that I may more closely match it.

Those look like the screws used to fasten the headlight covers to the bucket.

Thank you!
So they are just thin 6mm nuts then...

Will see if I can either find some appropriate SS ones or just order them.
