LPC 826 module?

Hi there, I'm new to the lasers world but I've been doing a lot of research.
I want to build my first laser burner from a LPC 826 laser diode. I've read lots of tutorials and projects looking for them to say what kind of module (dimensions and compatibility) is suitable for this diode. I've had no success.
So my question is: What is the correct module to put my LPC 826 bare diode into? I cluelessly got these module blanks but they won't fit. It looks like the hole to put the diode in is too large.
I thought of the 12x30mm housing blanks from aixiz, but before ordering I wanted to make sure this is correct and not mess it all up again.

And where can I find the propper modules and not get ripped off? I'm kind of short in money :/

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Okay, thanks a lot!!
But since I don't want 10 of them, would this also work?

And is there any way I can adapt the ones I got to fit my diode? (here)

Those two modules are incompatible. If you're not putting the 12mm module into something else, like a host, I'd get that black module instead, as it has heatsinking built-in.

But the 15x50mm black module does not fit the LPC 826 diode as it is meant for 9mm diodes :/

There are 15x50mm black module for the 5.6mm diodes. I have one of those 50mm modules. The heattransfer between the diode and the module is very bad.

It is better to use a 5.6mm copper module with a separate heatsink.
