Midi Din Parts and Molex Headers

Ive received the Midi Din receptacles from the BOM list and the bottom front 2 pin connectors are not spaced far enough apart from each other to mount into the Yocto PBC, Midi Din front 2 receptacles are (5mm apart from center of each pin) the Yocto PBC mounting holes are (10mm apart from center of each hole) , is the BOM wrong or is this a normal issue? All of the other MIDI DIN rear pins are perfectly sized for the PBC. If it is an issue, are the front pins necessary for any kind of grounding or are they just to secure it, and if its just to secure it and there are no proper Midi Din sizes available will it have to be epoxied to the PBC?

Last question, is it a problem (as in not enough space in enclosure) to solder in Molex headers on the Power/IO Board, I noticed there are only Molex headers to solder for the Main Board? Thanks.

Had the same problem, ordered a pack of 20 pieces for something like 3 euros on aliexpress, with the right dimensions.
