Default sti oil cooler

I spun a rod bearing on my last motor so I needed to buy oil cooler. I decided to buy a sandwich plate and make my own oil cooler that would be more efficient. I was told by the company I bought the sandwich plate it would mate from the block to an oil filter. This is not the case. It comes with one 20mm x 1.5 fitting to mount on the block or can be used to adapt to a filter but not both. Apparently by adapt directly to block they meant to stock oil cooler. So now the dilemma is return all the oil cooler parts, spend a extra $300 bucks for a stock oil cooler and adapt from there or lastly find a 20mm 1.5 male to male nipple. (I can’t find a supplier thus far). So does anybody have any ideas that I might not have thought of or offer any solution. Does anyone have a stock sti oil cooler that has not been used on a blown motor? Please help
