Default am i using the wrong bolts?

during the tear down of my h/c swap.. i neatly put things in a bag with the assosiated part. or if anything i think i did.. anyways, is this the correct bolt that holds the coolant pipe and plugs down?
I am working on the car right now, so if more pics needed, i can post! please help!

No that is most likely a bolt that holds the coil pack down and possibly a wire harness is held down on top, the coolant x-over bolts have no stud on top and have aprox twice the threaded length to them than the one you are showing fwiw

That is a coil pack bolt it looks like, however, my crossover tube bolts do have heads sticking out the top like that but obviously with more thread showing through the bottom.

Got it... it is the same bolts but longer, the fronts are double ended studs while the back that holds the ls6 plugs are regular bolts. Thanks for the help fellas!
