Y-axis u-bolt threading issue

Hello!

I just received by mk3 and began to assemble it, however, in the assembly of the Y-axis, one of the threads on one of the u-bolts was cross-threaded, and therefore I cannot tighten down the lock nut. This leaves a 1-2mm gap between the plate and the nut. Is there a way to get a replacement u-bolt locally (Canada, ON) or get one shipped which doesn't cost me $65 in shipping fees?

I printed a holder from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:222191 will this suffice or do I need the u-bolt?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Update:

The gods at PRUSA thought of not-so-smart people like me and included an extra u-bolt in the spare's bag.
