Replacement chrome headlight ring

Hi,
I've got a 2014 clubman and the chrome is pealing on the right side ring.
I bought one from China E-bay and received it, looked good for $20.
Now begins the fun.. Went to install it and the attaching points looked different . The original ones have little black metal clips that hold it to the hood.
The new one does not. Pictures below. I contacted the seller and got the Royal runaround! Upon closer inspection their ad shows both styles.
Can anyone tell me if the one without the clips will work or what the are supposed to fit? Many Thanks, John

This one they sent me, no clips

This is the kind which is on the car.
