Five Pin Socket

Does anyone know where I can get a 5pin header socket that will fit between the two 24 pin headers for the on/off thru Vbat pins for socket mounting a teensy 4.1? I'm only finding connectors that fit too tight.
 
I've used these right angle headers and it fits nicely over the micro SD card reader:
That being said, I'm sure I've used the normal 5 pin header:
If I was doing stacking headers, this is a possibility:
 
I've generally always used header strips and just cut off the pieces required. The 5 pin header between the 2 rows of 24 pins just needs to be filed to make it fit snugly.

Whoops, evidently I didn't click control-C on the link. Here is the link:

If you have other headers, I find it easier to have a header that is exactly 5 pins so you don't have to file it down.

I also find at times that when I'm cutting female headers down, that I get too close and the last pin comes out.

For 14-pin headers, Adafruit has its ItsyBitsy product that is the same size as the Teensy 4.0, so you can re-use their header sets
Note, Sparkfun has its own stacking header for the Teensy, but I don't like it because it is 2 13-pin headers + 7-pin header instead of 2 14-pin headers + 5-pin header. If you want to put a stacking header on an Audio Shield (and ignore the 5 pin header) it doesn't work.

I think PJRC used to sell normal 14-pin and 24-pin female headers, but I don't see them. I have purchased some from a Chinese supplier and it got to me fairly quickly:
 
Cutting or filing is not an option when using an assembly house and ordering a large quantity of stuffed boards.
Anyway, thank ya'll for the suggestions!
