Default Liftgate cylinders

I just purchased 2 Mopar replacement liftgate cylinders for my 2002 PT. Got them through WeRMopar.com They said the parts had a new x reference # based on my VIN number. What I got was 2 cylinders, and 2 ball stud screws that thread in with a hex nut on the body of the stud behind the ball. The original ones have a screw that goes all the way through & the ball is on it. I have no idea how these will go in as they don't look anything like the old ones. Does anyone have any experience with liftgate cylinders like these?

Not on a PT, but I've replaced them on other cars -
Contact where you bought them and explain.
I bought mine at a autostore with measurements of length and knowing what ends looked like.

I've done a few just not PTs. Either there are clips that hold prop rod onto the ball studs that you take off or if no clips, you have to unscrew the entire ball stud from the car.
