Bed Link Tie Down Specs

Help Please!
I just got my 2023 F150 and want to add the Bed Link Tie-Down system inside the bed. The help I need is the what is the thread pattern on the existing screw holes in the sides of the truck bed? The only way to get them according to Ford Parts is to order the part from Ford. I am hoping someone has already installed the bed link system and remembers the screw size or pattern.
Thanks in advance.

My '17 had no threads. A couple others posting here reported the same.

I'm pretty sure it's an 8mm screw and it self threads.

I did one with a tap and then just ran the rest in. The self threaded ones felt more secure.

Mine looks to be 6mm thread size : but I’m guessing.

just be sure to get the correct thread pitch like 1.0 or 1.25
