Guess what, they sell a replacement ring with 3 of the correct bolts:

On order, hopefully will be here next week.

Apparently that ring of bolts will be an easy swap out with just lowering the shock down and removing the old one, no spring compression required.

Hope springs eternal.
you should call your alignment shop and thank them for the headaches. I hope they are an easy swap. Just from lookin, i can't tell.
