Tai-Hao keycaps on Dell AT101W problems?

Hi,
I'm refitting a Dell AT101W with Tai-Hao keycaps, I already bought a set on AliExpress. However, I have some concerns, I hear that the TH sets don't have a stepped capslock key. Does Tai-Hao sell them separately or would I be forced to modify the capslock key?
Also, I bought a set of Matias stabilizers (the AT101W chassis didn't have them) but the hooks on the spacebar wire appear to be only half as tall as photos I found of the stock stabilizers. Is this of any concern?

These are the updated caps lock to fit our Dell's. Only colour is Black, hence not much of a choice really

Wait, $36 for just a single key?

Honestly, I've held off ordering some because their cart handles shipping so weirdly-- you have to buy seperate shipping fee items. It looks like the one for add-on keys alone (about USD8) might be enough, but I don't want to place an order and then find it has to be reworked because the language is incomprehensible.

Same, I'm going to try modding the stock capslock perhaps with a 3D printed stem, before I order some of these.
Also I don't know if the spacebar with the Matias stab will even work yet.
