What are you talking about the upper 6 clips?
If so what i did was buy a set of NRG m6 fasteners and they come with nutserts that do the job. Unless you want something more professional/durable.

those are M6 but the inserts are more along the size of M8s, as they have "arms" that spread open. I think if you want actual nutserts it'll be a M8 or so.

No, they fit right in the support, the only one that's a bit tricky is the 2 clips? Don't know it's actual name but they insert in the support in the 2 inmost holes. The nutserts fit tight in there but they fit, might have to drill the clips slightly tho.

It sounds like I'm late to the party since you already ordered them, but I used some Time-Sert M10 x 1.25 x 20mm inserts and corresponding stainless stainless button head socket cap screws on mine. I, also, got tired of breaking those stupid OEM plastic push clips.

The M6 allow more "wiggle room" for adjusting if needed and the fender washers are nice and wide.

these definitely DO NOT fit without drilling. .
