The specific coils used by Honda are Hitachi coils and can be bought at Rockauto.com. See the thread below about that.

However, although I do not have experience with the beck Arnley coils, they seem like a suitable replacement part so I'm surprised you are having issues and I suspect something else might be the culprit. Perhaps a wonky O2 sensor? Have you had any trouble codes aside from the misfiring? Check engine light?

Get NGK IZFR6K13 spark plugs and that hopefully will fix your issue. I had denso spark plugs in my car and they were about 1mm shorter than the ngk spark plugs.

Side note our cars need iridium spark plugs as a minimum, it's in our car's service manual.
