The longer bolts seem like an added security. I'm sure they look at this statistically and may be including longer bolts on new shipments as it's cheap insurance.
TLDR: Yes, I'd reach out and ask if they can provide the longer bolts (4mm longer). How close are you to doing the install ?

Fast and good response from Dorch:
“This was a fairly isolated incident. Over the years we’ve done hundreds of these kits (Dorch Engineering is a new brand, but we’ve been automotive engineers/suppliers for a while!) and only 2 have had this issue. We looked further into it and it looks like a couple of the S2 kits received the wrong bolts (this has since been solved). The S1 kits never had any parts bin mix-ups so you are good to go!”
