Unhappy I got scammed for some headlights, can they be saved?

Hey everyone, this is my first time here, I recently crashed my 06 E61 520d, and while getting my Pre-Lci Halogen headlights fixed,I bought some Facelift LCI Halogen Headlights, they were described as well working with one little defect of one of the AE not working, and the price was okay for 130euros for the pair, so I wanted to take the risk of fixing them as a project and install them on my E61, long story short the headlights on the backside don't seem very identical to each other and the mentioned above non-working AE it's not that it doesn't work but there is no frame slot to put the LED for the AE, literally non-existent, it can be seen on the attached pictures, the seller is not owning the lie because he told me that there is an issue with AE but not that one of the rings does not even have a slot, if anyone can give me any advice how do I make the best out of these, idk 3D Print or is there a part I can find to make it whole?

@Argjend So, you have the angle eye assembly, but it does not twist in? How does the other headlight assy look?

Alright so, first off I did not know that for the LCI headlights only one bulb lights up both AE rings, and I figured that one of the headlights is a replica and instead of the regular bulbs the replica one uses a t4w bulb which is very annoying so in the end my best option would be to try find only the left headlights (replica) one, thanks for the reply anyways!
