MB gave a wrong wheel locking bolt adapter - or I am crazy
So part of my GLS options / build included the "Wheel locking bolts". At $150, its a really cheap security option for a lot of peace of mind.
Finally looked at it today (it was in the glove compartment) and I think they gave me the wrong adapter, or the wrong four bolts.
I am thinking that whoever assembled this very simple package could not have made such a fundamental mistake, so maybe I just being an idiot for not understanding how this works.

Did they put the locks on the wheels already, and those are the lugs that were removed?
