Surprise: You get what you paid for.

Silvolite and Badger cast pistons are made to one priority: cheapness.

You saved $300 on pistons compared to a good set of Ross or Wiseco custom forged pistons. Now you have to spend $300 - $400 for custom balancing. Afterwards you will still have fragile cast pistons that increased the reciprocating weight for reduced performance and higher wear.

Send the Silvolite junk back and buy some forged pistons. You can order them in the proper diameter from Race Pistons in Florida so no reboring is required. About $550 including lightweight tool steel pins.
