How do these door pads attach??

This car was in pieces when I got it, so some things need to be figured out.  For example: Just doing some test fitting and tried the upper door pads in the back.   Then I noticed that there are only a couple of screw holes at the front and one at the back but nothing along the bottom (Pic #1).  Doesn't look like there is a place for anything anyway.  Looked on the back and I can see cutouts like there might be fasteners or clips or something (pic #2).  Is there supposed to be something there to attach to these tabs (pic #3)??

If I knew what to look for I would go thru my bins of left over parts.

OK, dumb guy again!   These things seem to be what you mean.

PS check your PM.

Yes, please, that might help me decide if I have the correct ones.

Mine is a 68 Charger but they should be the same, notice the first clip is turned horizontal in the covers hole and the second 2 are vertically set. Hope this helps, plus thanks for all of your post I have saved a lot of them when I put mine back together.
