The company I had ordered the 22mm from contacted me to say they do not have that available, just the 20mm and 25mm. Thankfully a local nuts/bolts shop had a 25mm and matching nut, so I picked up a handful, paid $5, and when the guy said he would make change I said coffee is on me!
The nut was a tighter fit than the original, but it eventually fit. I used some loc-tite on the threads. A few mm of extra bolt passed through the nut and looks fine overall. I was able to torque it down snuggly without any strange noises (as I was getting before, every time I loosened and tightened the bolt). Went for a 2.5 hour ride today, on some rough roads/trails, and it didn't move. Hopefully this is it!
