Problems fitting my back wheel bicycle rack

Morning everyone,
I bought the Topeak Super Tourist DX Disc Rack for my mountain bike (GT Aggressor) and whilst trying to fit it on I have realized the bolt which goes through the wheel/quick release and which connects this product to the back wheel is too short and thus I can not fix it on.
What can I do to overcome this problem, is it as simple as buying a longer bolt and if so where best to get it from?
Thank you for your help,
Samuel

It can be bolted direct to the dropouts if you have the threaded holes.

To use a QR mounting you need a longer QR in the same way as you would on a turbo trainer.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
