Where do these plastic nuts go?

These were in the glove box when I purchased the car. They look cosmetic, but can someone tell me where they go so I can put them back. Thanks.

Something concerning the mounting of the license plate? I don't recognize them so this is just a guess.

They look like the ones that go over locking lug nuts on the wheels. They just snap into place.

I think we have a winner. Although, they seem useless because of the hub cap that covers them all up. I see why they left them off.
