Need help with fog cover install

Alright, I'm just not seeing how these are supposed to go on. I'm assuming this one goes on the driver's side?

And this one goes on the passenger side? Anyway, there is no way these brackets will mount on the fog light screws and reach all the way up to the cover. I thought it was just a matter of removing one screw from the lamp, installing the bracket on that screw, inserting the tabs from the cover, and then screwing the bracket and cover together. What am I missing here?

See the little 'L' in the first pic? I'm assuming that means left side of the car. The bracket in the second pic has an 'R' on it but it isn't really visible. The fog covers actually fit better reversed from what I've shown, but that places the mounting hole for the bracket even further away so I don't know if that's right. Help, please!

Those look like replica covers, so not sure if they'll fit as good, but..

The covers fit very tight - at first I thought they weren't going to fit at all - but they actually 'snap' in pretty good. try to insert/line up the little tabs at the top.

The brackets do bolt right on. Take out the lower outside screw and put it through the 90 deg. end of bracket and then put screw & bracket back in under light. Really can only go one way. When cover is 'snapped' in all the way, screw and bracket pretty much line right up.

Yeah, they are replicas from Vivid. Thanks for the advice, I'll just try pushing harder. I didn't realize I'd have to force them in.
