Default Grille Mounting Tabs - how many are needed?

First I apologize if this has been asked, and answered - I searched but did not find anything within a few pages.
I bought an 06 Pony Package grille off eBay, it arrived missing 3 of the 5 tabs on the bottom. Apparently it did not go through the the thorough QC process the company claimed to employ.

My question how many of the 9 tabs are required for a secure mounting? I have the 4 sides and 2 outermost bottom.
If more are needed - does the plastic take plastic welding (staples) well?

Anyone have snap shots of how the fish mouth type grilles connect to the automobile? I'm changing RB to CB & am fitting the grille. There are three small skinny brackets on the bottom of the grille -- one inside the middle & one every closer to the ends. Are the ones supposed to be connected at once on top of the panel (identical panel the oil cooler sits on) or below it? If under I'll need to reduce notches due to the fact there aren't any voids within the RB panel's lip. If they pass on pinnacle, I'm going to want to perform a little work on the fenders due to the fact proper now it's rubbing on the top of the curves inside the fronts that it sits "in". Also mine doesn't have brackets at the top, however I'm guessing it wishes some. A p.C of those would be terrific too. Thanks,
