Yeah I have the old style nuts which would probably work but they aren't that cool.  I am trying to get used to my new upscale world after years in the Creality Ghetto 😀 

The Support chat really had nothing.  Thought I would try these.  They don't look the same but the description sounds similar.

RE: Source for M3nEs Nuts?

Another thing to look for are the so-called "hammerhead" or "hammer" T-slot nuts for aluminum extrusions. (80/20 calls them "Standard Drop-In T-Nut"s.) These are designed to be able to be inserted without access to the ends of the extrusion. They drop into the slots and then turn 90° to engage the clamping function. They come in both nuts and studs, depending on the vendor.

While searching for a good article describing hammerhead nuts (I wasn't able to find one quickly that wasn't part of a product description) I ran across a couple articles from what looks like east Asian websites talking about using a hammer or mallet to put the hammer nuts into slots. If the fit is that tight, you've gotten the wrong size nuts. They should drop into the slot easily.
