Default how to mount jdm nismo sides?

This may be a silly question but I'm kinda stumped. I know the JDM Nismo sides just use screws to mount to the body where the door jams are, but the OEM sides use those white pop pins. If I take out the pop pin hole, then I'm just left with a hole in the body of the door jam and a drilled hole in the skirt. So my question is, how did you or your bodyshop mount the skirt in these areas? I want it to look clean as well with screws.
I've been to home depot, lowes, autozone, and pepboys to try and find something that would work for that area, but couldn't come up with a solution. Pictures would greatly help of whatever you're using as well. Thanks for the help.

nobody?
i got sooo close to putting it on but the fiberglass was on the verge of cracking. the end flaps seem to curve inward instead of going straight like its supposed to so I can easily slip it on and bolt it up.

^^ might wanna have a body shop take a look before you damage them. if the body shop can't get them on, then send them back to nismo for new ones
