Because your matching test takers are more distantly related than third cousin, you will need to use triangulation. See these instructions: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:DNA_Confirmation#Are_you_third_cousins_or_closer.3F Please change the parental relationship to 'confident' until you have a proper DNA confirmation statement. Thanks!
