I removed my front cladding to upgrade the headlights to HID from Tone (EXCELLENT desicision). When putting back on the cladding there are 2 torx screws that I am having a problem with. On the very front of the cladding and at the very top of the cladding there is a screw on the left side (between the left headlight assembly and the grill) and one on the right side (between the right headlight assembly and the grill). These screws do not screw into anything. They do not screw into a bracket or brace or anything that I can see.

When I cleaned up everything I found a small rectangular metal piece with a hole in the center. It appears that this is the "nut" for the back of one of these screws. Apparently the 2 screws are only for show and serve no purpose of attaching the cladding to anything. Is this true?

If yes where can I find these small metal thingies? I need a couple of them.
