'70 C10 Temp Gauge Hardware Help

I put a new temp gauge in my '70 C10 SS, 402 eng. Also put in a new instrument printed circuit and light sockets and bulbs. But ... I have these two tall nuts left over. Oops!

Any of you old timers remember how they go on the temp gauge mount bolts?

They mount the insulator to the cluster body to raise the circuit board up so the
copper strips don't rub against the cluster body and short out or break.
