The one on that site are Type AB, which are as the heading states are typically for sheet metal. For plastics, screws typically have a larger relative pitch and sharper, deeper, narrower at the root thread form. “ 30degree flank angle” rather than standard 60. Ideally you want that style even if you cannot match the exact pitch. Have you got a ruler and a vernier? Look on Kayfast website, but only imperial sizes or on EBay for a metric selection box?

Not a problem unless you put excessive length in ?

I really wouldn’t worry and just put the original screws back in. They are not securing anything heavy or that will fall off.
If you really are concerned, swap half from the right light with the screws from the left light so each has a mix of perfect and ‘pretty good’.

The 8 large pictures of the screws are obviously LH thread, but it may be a photo posting issue by the seller, they may have reversed the photo.
But it's clear as day they appear to be LH thread.

Just visualise screwing any of the 8 large photos in, they would have to be turned anticlock

Don’t panic Stan… even Screwfix sometimes use reversed photos. The screws themselves will be the right way round.
