FL Side Vents -- Tightening or Attaching?

Our passenger side outside duct (behind front tire) is loose and I'm afraid it will just bounce off one day. Looking at the underneath, it looks like there were originally 4 clips of some type, but they have long gone. The clip at the front still holds it in place and the two rear plastics still go into the holes so it kinda just sits in there, a too-fast speed bump would likely do it.

Anyone had any luck attaching them? I was thinking of some type of adhesive along the back between the two pins -- looks like some good contact area there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Buy new clips or use some 3M double sided mounting tape from the auto store. I did both.

Doesn't look like you can replace the broken clips.
Do you know which ones you changed out? There are two to the rear of the car
and I think 2 different ones at the front plus the metal clip (still there).
Thanks
