I ordered temporary lights from amazon which are coming tomorrow because my ai hydras got a hardware issue what made me stop working.

These are the lights I ordered. 2nd photo is of my ai hydra lightsand how they were hooked up.

I need something cheap and temporary to install these lights.
Thanks everyone so much for helping me lately with my light emergency. Stressful, but so much easier with such a great support group!

Are the hydras mounted on that rail, or hung from the cables? I see both in the photo. The lights you're getting come with cables, maybe you'll get lucky and the bolt size will be the same.
 
That rail’s purpose is to hold 2 hydra lights— one on each side. then the back of the rail is held up with the cables.
I checked, and I see that for the hydras, You need to screw the end of the cable to the back of the rail.
In the new lights, it doesn’t have a screw. I have to hook it somehow.
 
Maybe an small eyelet screw in to the canopy if that’s possible. You’d probably be able to use one per light. Something like this:
