Carbon Cowl Vent Installation Question

Hey,
So I got my carbon cowl vent covers that were tapped with screws but don't have the brackets for me to mount them inside. I figure some custom ones will be pretty easy to figure out, I curious if anyone would help with any suggestions.

They seem really similar to the Orciari ones so I am not sure if the OG Orciari parts will be the same mounting style only come with brackets included.
Anyone?

Jamie, did you need a pic of the hardware Orciari uses for their scoop ?

They were just 4 oblong pieces of metal like large washers, with holes on either end. One side is tight fits as a lip under one end and the other side had wing nuts which would tighten the small sections of oblong metal washer from bottom side.

Thanks Raven, I would love a picture if it is available. That is a pretty good description and it sounds like what I put together. Im kinda proud of myself for figuring it out but I will be much less proud if one flies off. I just want to make sure that I shouldnt go back to the hardware store to switch it out. I didn't use wingnuts and that would have made it easier then securing a bolt by hand, so maybe there is something else i can switch. Thanks for the help!
