Foam inserts are a waste of time and money. They're ok for the first two years maybe, then decomp accumulates on top and soon you got a redneck gutter garden.
Might have to order some on line. I have 6" gutters and most of the local stuff fits 5". Menards had some for 6" but they are both steel. Steel and aluminum aren't a good mix with lots of water and moisture - it rusts and corrodes. I have the large gutters and downspouts but they still clog up sometimes, just not as bad as the smaller ones.
I used the Menards steel 5 years no rust….did use stainless fastener. Replaced aluminum screens that were screwed with steel fasteners……those fasteners rusted.
There are situations and conditions where cleaning is still required no matter the choice of covers. Especially at internal 90* corners.
