Carb Rebuild help

I have a 1996 Sea Doo GTI that i need to replace or rebuild the carbs. I have never rebuilt carbs before so I decided to buy new ones.
after a bunch of research i landed on these:

Ebay Carb Kit-https://www.ebay.com/itm/396591967730

Now that I have them in they aren't the exact carbs. The difference is that i order two of this same carb, and I've realized that they are slightly different and do not work in unisom. Now im not sure if i can make this work or if i will have to return and just buy a rebuild kit. I haven't been able to find the same exact carb for sale. i would prefer to just give the ski a new carb and ensure a healthier carb.

Any help or suggestions?
 
My suggestion would be to return the new carbs, read through @mikidymac carb rebuild thread here in this forum. Order a back to OEM carb rebuild kit from OSD marine and a couple JIS screwdrivers, they look like a Phillips but are slightly different. Rebuilding the carbs is not difficult, I did it without ever rebuilding a carb before, just follow along with the thread, have a nice clean work surface where you can lay everything out and you won’t need to move the stuff for days if needed. Take lots of pictures. If I’m doing something I’ve never done before, I will take a picture from further back, a picture closer in on what I’m going to remove, remove the bolt, take a picture again lol. Then either lay it out or bag and tag, I will even number every item I take off sometimes. Then if I have 26 pieces I know I’m going to need number 26 first and then piece 25 next…. Keep your old parts till the machine is up and running and don’t ever throw out the old springs from inside the carb,
