The original shock (left) has a larger eyelet than the new shock (right) which means that the bolt won't fit through. Can I buy a compatible mounting kit … or am I screwed?

You can push the black part out of the bushing and then have the silver bushing pressed out. I’m pretty sure all holes are the same size. They have bushings for this reason. Take it to a local LBS and all then to push the bushings out.
The eylet is the same on both shocks, the thing is the new one has the bushing kit installed , you will have to remove it and check which one fits your frame, but from what I can see in the old one, it go’s in without any kind of hardware
Sorry. I know it’s a question frequently asked so I could have searched … but you know how it is. You try to fix something yourself, lose a part, hurt yourself, get grease everywhere, and then get inconsolably mad.
