kragens has a small pack of plug that fit perfectly. they come in black and maybe white. however, these are not in the license plate section of the store, it is on a spinning rack that has other size plugs/clips. the package is green and one pack comes with 2 for around two or three dollars. no paint needed if u have a dark car

the "washer/screwhead" ones go in the wheel well, near the top.

check under your car, too. there's some that go under there. especially the "non screwdriver topped" ones. LOL

so i did everything and nothing seems missing.... weird huh? hahaha well i looked very throughly and i have no idea where it goes lol. i'll take pics of it soon.

i have a solution but iono if its right or not hahaha, you know those clear/white plastic things that plug up the hole on the bottom, theres three of them and they each have a hole in the middle of them, do the 3 screws go in there? lmao if that made sense
