Smoke side marker install issue?!

Just bought a pair of smoke side markers ( PN (01)0278382) for my '07 anniversary. Thought they would look stealthy on a Titan gray car.
Two problems came up , first the plug is different, new ones use two round pins, originals use two spade style. I tried to swap the socket itself but the dimensions of the "twist lock" are different. I solved that problem by taping it in place, not optimal but functional. Just as I thought I'm almost done I try to snap the marker itself back in the fender. Turns out that there is a slotted tab and a spring tab on the originals and only a spring tab on the smokes. They will not stay in place. I assume that there is a tab/ mounting piece, etc. of some sort for the smoke markers but it's not supplied.
Am I missing something? I hate to give up on these but I'm not wanting to do a lot of fabricating to make these work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
