Default Simple question, but....

I just purchased a set of rear licence plate frame screw covers. The head of the screws are to big. What size screw is it? I went to Home Depot and got a headache trying to find the size. I probally walked by the bin 20 dozen times.

I think they are just a hair over 7/16" or 11mm.
