Icon9 Upper control arm alignment screw up

So I'm totally rebuilding the front end of my '03 2x4 Ranger Edge and I have accidentally mixed up the little caster/camber alignment plates/washers for the upper control arm. I purchased a Moog caster/camber kit online (Part number K80065) and the supplied washers don't fit in the notch where the original plates were. I took a trip to 2 local parts stores looking for alternatives, and their computers gave the same part number as the item I ordered. Not totally sure how to proceed at this point, and would like some input. Not sure if there's a way to differentiate the original alignment plates and put them back as they were, or if I need to find another aftermarket alignment kit to use, or even modify the Moog one that I already have. Both employees at the parts store (As predicted) had no real clue of what to do, and basically told me to take it to the dealer and let them sort it out, which I don't like the sound of. At this point, any help would be great.

This is one video I went by that led me to buy a camber/caster adjustment kit. The kit that I got, while recommended for the Ranger does not fit, so if anyone else knows of a kit that would fit, I'd appreciate it
