The feet do not work(holes in the board are too small)

Didnt notice the screws didnt fit Sad

What to do to get it running today when in Denmark......
There's a couple mods you can do to use the included hardware and the longer standoffs. Remove the screws from the cross brace and toss a couple #10 nuts (or some other space) on them, then put the spring and retaining clip back on.

The less annoying and higher performance method (the backplate is in the better orientation) is to use some M4x50mm screws to hold it in place though.

Would like to use the M4x50mm version - but not sure how it will fit. The backplate needs 1 "side" of the screw to be "flat". Are you using a special M4 or am I missing something ?
