Looks like you bought the 21-210 Peachtree 1/4" pin pivot bracket which fits your track, but the 21-029 top pivot and 21-030 bottom pivot pins are 9/32" and won't fit. The molding company only has the die for the 1/4" pivot these days. No one knows what happened to the 9/32" pivot bracket. The market for Peachtree parts are fading and I would wager it wouldn't pay for them to make a new mold. That's definitely one of the downsides of maintaining older bifold closet doors.
I've known service people to place the pivot in a vise and carefully drill a 9/32" hole for the pins to fit in. I note you also bought two nylon caps, our 21-117, which is used for the 21-028. The 21-106 is for a 1/4" pin and usually made for Slimfold door pins. The cap you want for the old 5/16" Peachtree pin is our 21-101. See what you think.
