HELP!! -- Goldilocks and the three Ploprof springb

Hello!

I bought this Omega Ploprof from a private collector in Israel. It came with the original Isofrane blue rubber strap. I bought a NOS Omega 24mm mesh bracelet from a well known collector/vendor of these items, but the bracelet did not come with springbars.

Here is a photo of the bracelet with its packaging:

The springrars that came with the blue rubber strap are too fat to fit through the mesh endlinks of the bracelet:

The vendor sent me a set of thinner springbars, but these are too thin, and pass through the holes in the lugs:

Then the vendor kindly sent me another set of springbars. These are not right either because the pin passes too far through the holes and allows the other side of the bar to come out of its hole:

Here is a photo of the entire mess I have:

Can somebody help me find the springbar that is "just right" so I can live happily ever after?

Thank you!!
