Bricked X-Wing Laser Cannon

My family gifted me the X-Wing Fighter LEGO set from the MICROFIGHTERS series. It is one of the early sets in this series, dating from 2014, and they bought it used.

At the end of assembling all the parts, I noticed that I could not complete the laser cannons. Each cannon consists of two rod-like structures which are connected by a round plate. Specifically, a round plate with a hole in the middle, like a doughnut.

Round plate parts — The round-1x1-plate-with-a-hole connector piece on one of the laser cannon rods.

Now, when the seller collected all pieces together to prepare the set for shipping, he made a small mistake and mixed up the holed plate with a regular round plate.

Fortunately, Lego offers the Pick a Brick service on their website, where you can order (every?) individual parts.

The tricky bit was finding the correct part. The original set number did not yield any search results. But finding the same part in a recent set of our son, and searching for the parts of that set turned up the name PL.ROUND 1X1 W. THROUGHG. HOLE and associated part number.

The cannons are now operational.
