Help~!! Lost n62 upper timing cover nut

Today I was changing both valve cover gasket and upper timing gasket and when doing the final assembly on the left side (near the alternator) I dropped one nut (part number 07129905568) it fell near the alternator so I removed the alternator, but still cant find it. Is there an alternative nut that I can use? Ecs tunning says its m6x20mm nut. Can I just buy this type of nut from bunnings (same as home depot or lowes in usa)? Or anyone in Australia have a spare nut to overnight it to me?

I broke one of those and replaced with an Allen head cap screw. Bolt not nut. 6mm x 20mm length.

Are you 100% sure you didn't drop into the timing cover!?

Yes, 100% that it didnt drop in to timing cover. I was putting the last screw on the dreaded place (that is block by the alternator) and fell near the bracket. Thank u for the info on other 6x20mm bolt works.
