Default bilstein pss9 donuts

so i bought a set of pss9 used and it didn't come with the proper bilstein donuts (bumpstops). it's missing the top ones and are circled in red (see pick below). has anyone tried running the oem ones w/o problems?

called bilstein, they said it's no problem if hte oem donuts fit and are roughly the same length....

but oem donut inner diameter is smaller than the strut shaft so FML.

trying to get a refund now...
