Can you use pin terminals on places where a fork spade would go like on the Meanwell PS?

I ran out of and couldn't find anymore #6 fork ones locally so I used the pins for now. I did find boxes of 100 blue and red today at True Value of all places so I was thinking of changing them out, but if it works don't fix it. Got lots more to worry about.

As long as the screw terminals have "saddle clamps" -- square plates under the screw heads to bear on the wires -- then ferrules are entirely suitable.
