Yes, they are replacements for the large bolts that connect the bracket to the car.
Initially I used the factory large bolts without washers and had washers on only the small bolts. I decided to remove the washers on the small bolts and instead put washers on the longer large bolt I linked above. I put blue loctite on all bolts just in case.
On the second image you will see only 4 washers, I ended up adding one more for a total of 5, with this many I was able to slide a credit card between the stainless mesh/rivets that I added and the oil cooler.
The washer comparison shows the gap provided by the washers I had on the small bolts versus the 5 on the large bolts.
