Adapters for halogen bulbs for 2006 Aerogarden?

I tried doing the research, following another persons comment from an old reddit post to get some adapters to start using LEDs in my old, secondhand Aerogarden. So, I bought these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017X12AQK

But I just got them and put them into the sockets and I think the plastic tabs on the end are the wrong size, much bigger than the originals, so it won't lock in. The lights will turn on for half a second and then stop, hanging there partially out of the socket, as shown in pic 5. Pic 2 shows the difference in the old one on top and and new one on bottom.

Does anyone have a link to a product that will actually work to replace the old halogen bulbs in my aerogarden?

No animated gifs in new website builder?

Sorry for the long post.

Went to edit my main website in the old website builder, wouldn't work. Called, they told me the old website builder is broken and I HAVE to move to the new one. I have 2 domains; I made a thrown together website a few years ago on the new website builder for my secondary site and it was okay, so while I was on the phone w the guy, I had them switch my main one to the new website builder, too. He said "oh man, for 1 year of what you were paying I can get you 5 years of the new website builder" so I say yes.

Later that day, as I'm trying to build the new main site, I'm realizing the complexities I had on my old main site is making building this page difficult (I'm an adult photographer so I want an "are you 18+ Y/N" popup on the main page, I want gifs, I want sprawling text with pictures interspersed).

Spent 2 hours in a chat with customer service. 30 mins of that was with an AI chat bot who was pretty helpful til it wasn't. Then 1.5 hours with someone who is def ESL and using a translator, which is why each message takes 5 - 10 minutes to come back. He's telling me they do allow gifs and walking me through it, making me check they're the right size, making me check they're uncorrupted, telling me they'll play once published.

He tells me to work on the settings for image optimization. I go looking for them, can't find the thing he says is there, so I tell him what options I have on the right side panel... he then says that "It appears that the image optimization settings may not be directly accessible within the standard site settings." SO HE'S TRYING TO WALK ME THROUGH SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

So, I ask what to do next. He then sends me a basic article about uploading images, that says "animated gifs aren't supported". SO THIS MAN WAS WALKING ME THROUGH SOMETHING THEY DO NOT OFFER.

Then he says "Could you please let me check with an alternative option for you?" So, I'm waiting on a response for a while, finally after a 20 minute wait, I poke and he responds "Please try an alternative, we suggest using an external service to convert GIFs to short video clips (e.g., MP4) and embedding them as videos instead." SO I'M NOT ALLOWED TO USE ONE OF THE OLDEST IMAGE FORMATS IN THE WORLD AND INSTEAD, MAKE ALL MY GIFS INTO VIDEOS?!

Anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking of trying to get my 5 years worth I prepaid for, back.
