Need GPU socket screws

I removed the cooler years ago and stuck an nzxt g12 bracket on. Cooler died and I'm selling the card but I refuse to spend over $100 on a replacement water block so I'm putting the stock cooler back on.

 

I am missing the screws to attach the cooler to the socket. It is an EVGA acx2.0 GTX 1080.

Arctic makes aftermarket air coolers for the 1080 and if I remember correctly they are pretty inexpensive. So that's an option as well, if you can't find the correct screws.

They're all over $80 which is not worth it for a GTX 1080 that I'm selling. 

 

I'd also use the nzxt g12 bracket with a new cooler but it requires the older asetek mounting mechanism so no newer coolers can do it.
