Upgrade to M Sport bumper question

Hi, I recently purchased an M Sport bumper conversion kit after my 2015 428i Gran Coupe got hit in a parking lot. While inspecting it, I noticed that the two parking sensor holes in the middle of the bumper are considerably larger than the outer two (which are the same size as my current parking sensors). Is there a reason for this and is it fixable? I was thinking either shrink the holes with bondo or get new sensors that fit if they are available.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Your kit should have adapter rings. I don't know why they do this, mine was the same.

Thanks! The weirdness of the rings doesn't cancel out how much better the new bumper looks but I'd be happier without them. Also, you can't beat the full kit for $400.

eBay knock off for front bumper only is clearly what he's referring to.

Still needs painting etc.
