No, this specific kit is a replacement mount and screws for the Viper for a weaver/picatinny style rail. It is an exact replacement to the mount and screws that come from the factory with the Vortex Viper. The screws for the FNX should be included with the handgun when it was purchased, using the Docter red dot plate and screws.

I had the same problem on a FNX Tactical. The screws FN provides are #5-40-3/8" flat head torx . You'll need to order #5-40-1/2" flat head screws torx, Item #94414A124 from McMaster-Carr. They come in a pack of 50 but aren't that expensive. It cost me $16.50 which included tax& shipping. Oh well, at least it's mounted correctly. Torque the screws down to 15 in.lbs. and you'll be all set.
