Unfortunately, it's best to get the larger backing plate. Dual-Action Hook & Loop Flexible Backing Plate 6"
Will your setup work? Yes it will but it will be inefficient because the smaller backing plate(5") is not fully against the larger pad(6.5").
Since you have the first gen PC and already have the 5" backing plate, you should have gotten the Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System 5.5 Inch. That would turn your PC into a beast.
Maybe you can exchange your 6.5" for 5.5" thin pros?
This article is perfect for you:

You need smaller pads. Can you exchange them for 5.5" pads?

How many pads did you order?
Pads don't weigh much. Just check to see how much it would cost to ship them back. That way you can exchange it.
The 5.5" pads will work more effectively than the 6.5" pad setup on the first gen PC. Just FYI.
