I thought they were 509t's but after buying some it would seem I was wrong. The T's seem very close. Which ones do I need?

There should be a gap to cater for the wings, place it in then twist they should stay there pal

The gap is for the metal contacts to go through to contact on the PCB at the back. These wings are plastic and on the total opposite side to the metal ones

Or you could get some side cutters, cut the plastic wings off? = profit
