PVC corrugated roof fitting - no eaves available, still ok to fit??

So i bought some BTM 'Corru ' PVC.. yes the name is very similar to a leading brand CORRAPOL
The eaves are 93mm apart at the peak
The height is 35mm of each peak

This is NON-STANDARD - SO, you cant buy eaves fillers for them!
Even the supplier doesnt stock them (b&Q) just the branded ones that are 3 or 6 inch not the above 3.6inch wide and 1.7 inch non standard peak.

BTM must know they are non standard so you can buy their eaves too, what a con. I even went on their youtube videos and comments underneath of people saying the same!

Can you fit PVC without them? or must this shipment go back?!? IT was a pain to get them here and now i gotta take  them all back potentially, what a pain!

Yes, they were cheaper than others but you'd think B&Q wouldnt supply items with no support
For the overhang to the gutter im thinking, I will grab some foam, cut it to fit, fill it the end ,  job done or make a template out of wood and fill that, no air will get up then but the rest of the  sheets arent supported as per 99% of all how-to's

Must have been life before eaves?

    B&Q like many places don't think about any support or if the product is functional in situ,
    i've got the corrapol ones on my firewood sheds but they are only 8 ft high and sheltered by trees so wind is not a probelm, they have a 5/6inch overhang so rain doesn't get under them
    i don't have eave/support fillers, but i needed to add extra sidewards support after i put them up as i got shag
