Question on an item with front bumper

So I was removing my front bumper to create my own screen guards for the oil and ac radiators. I was putting my bumper back on but I had a set of extra fasteners with screws in the middle.

IE kind of like the below picture but instead of the center peg as a plastic, it's a screw and the fastener/screw combo is a lot smaller than the wheel well fasteners.





It's one of the screws I circled in red that I have about 5-6 extra and can't find where they go in the front bumper again. I know there's two of those that help hold in the lining for that area pictured along with the 4 hex screws.



Any help is appreciated.

Dude, there are six up top...four towards the front of that plastic cover(if you will) and two on the side closest to the hood latch.
There are 10 underneath the car holding the lower tray to the bumper.
I believe the middle four of those are supposed to be shorter. That leaves the wheel wells.....did you forget those? Most will take four out on a side on the wheel wells, but you can do it taking only three per side. I think you probably have the wrong ones in the tray(the middle four) underneath and once you do this, you'll find the extra's are missing from the wheel wells. Just a guess. Give me a few minutes and I'll scan something in to show you what I mean.
