Default Softail deluxe rear peg problem

So when I bout my bike it had no rear peg mounts. I bought the part but am having trouble finding a a T50 bit long enough to reach in the peg mount all the way to tight the bolt and torque it. The standard one is to fat to fit in the peg mount. Guys at Home Depot couldn't find anything that would work and suggested I modify a tool to do it. Figured someone on here would be able to suggest the correct tool. Didn't want to turn it into Harley for something this simple. Any suggestions or links to a torts tool that might work would be great! Want to take the wife riding.

I'm pretty sure I bought mine as part of a set of four from AutoZone when I installed my passenger floor boards.

Where the set of four you bought at autozone special long skinny torx or something. I was just surprised they had nothing at the hardware store. I gues it would make sense to have something like that specifically for automotive.
