Hi all, was upgrading my 2021 Trek fuel ex 8 today (fork and shock from Manitou) After pulling of the shock Hardware, it doesn't fit and I wanted to order new ones. The upper hardware has m10x54 and lower is m10x50. But the lower hardware has an 10mm offset on the non drivetrain side. Is that something I should consider or can I order standard symmetric hardware? Here is a pic of it, look on the sizes left and right from the eyelet.
Thanks in advance!

I have and yeah, it is offset. Damn it, not easy to find them here. Have ordered custom hardware now for up and down.
Just pull the hardware off that shock. I prefer the Rockshox tool and have a few.
I have already swapped them to the manitou and it was to firm. Have ordered new ones and will change also the bushings
