help with plastic filler panel under hood?

hey guys i got a new plastic filler panel that goes between the upper rad support and the nose. the piece fills in the space where the hood latch is. my car is carbed stock so it does not have the air box, just the filler piece. my car didnt have the piece ever since i baught it and i have no clue what holds it on to the car. on the upper rad support there was a black (tree) pin there and assume they are used there so i will need to get some, but the nose is held by screws to the support brace. the screws are to small to hold the filler panel so what should be there to hold the panel? thanks for the help guys!

Five plastic push pins along the radiator support (go to my Car Details below for reference) and one in front of the latch. The rest are screws with washers.

Thank you for the nice words. The T-5 is holding up well, but I don't beat it. Compared to the old LG4 (which was modded), this 350/330 is a beast! Way fun to drive!
