Tommy,

I highly recommend that you get the proper screws from Elecraft to be 
certain they are the correct length.
Hardware store screw are normally not available in black, so why mess up 
the appearance of your KX2 with zinc plated screws.

Asked about that and the seller said he tried to put some sort of protective end plates onto the radio but couldn’t do it so threw them away and put the original end plates back on.  What concerns me about just going to the hardware store and getting more screws (that might not be the proper thread/length) is I think two of the screws held the final output transistors onto that end plate which I assume was for that end plate to act as a heatsink.
