Do you mean an accessory optics side mount whose threaded "capture plate" replaces the OEM plate which covers the bolt release mechanism on the left side of the receiver? IDK offhand, but back when I had one, I went to local hardware store and found a fastener in Stainless steel easily enough. Bring the plate with you to the hardware store and try different fasteners. Be careful of the length of the fastener which protrudes into the area for the bolt hold open mechanism. Too long a fastener may jam up the mechanism.
