I've got several clones like your Rodney and use the same guide on all of them. Never had a problem. Some of them actually sit on the needle plate screw when I have them set for a 1/4" seam. So far they work OK for me.
However you can keep your eyes open for one of those that came with the left homing machines or the machines where the feed dog would interfere when you have a SS foot on the machine.
They have a relief cut on the guide face for the feed dogs. Those work OK too.
