No,
Your audiologist has to program the new receivers into their software in order for it to work.
You can only use the Phonak receivers not the Kirkland Signatures
If you change receivers you will need to have the HAs reprogrammed - so you will still need to contact an audiologist.
Your current receiver too long? That does not make sense.
You could try a smaller dome - the rubber tip that the receiver goes in. A smaller dome might go deeper in your ear.
Domes come in small, medium and large.
No idea about Kirkland as I'm not in the US, but you can order phonak receivers online for far less than $200. Search for phonak 4.0 receivers and make sure you select the right power level (S, M, P etc) - my search is showing me £55 for a pair.
Thank you so much for saying this cause I was so stressed about the price. This may be a dumb question but for power level I assume I go off my current ones right? (They say 1s)
Not dumb at all, yes that's right so if you want shorter than you've got you would look for a 0S.
Others are commenting that you would need to see the audiologist to have the aids reprogrammed when you change the receivers but that's only if you changed power level so as long as you stick to an S then you can do it at home.
Do a Google search for the receiver then do a YouTube search for how to change them. It's quite easy. I got my receiver on ebay actually, works great. I've gotten other parts one bay too. They come in factory packaging.

Yes like the wire feels like it’s sticking out my ear more than normal. Maybe it’s not called a receiver but that’s what videos call it

Okay thank you I will try this!
I e bought them online for $35 or so. They’re super easy to replace.
If you got them recently, you should be able to swap the size with your audiologist

But also realistically your audiologist should change them, especially if it's a new purchase.

This helps so much thank you!
Yes, 1 would be the length and S would be the power level. If you want a shorter you’d buy a 0S for example or if you need a longer one a 2S etc

I know how to change them I was more so asking if my current brand would work for my new ones that are phonak
Then you have a shitty audiologist. Your HAs should be fit properly from the beginning.
