Bend the tabs, keep them on the same plane with the plyers. Hard to exlpain I guess, I could to it in about 5 seconds.

I think he's saying using a pair of Tyler's bend (or push) the tabs left and right....keeping them the same distance front to back so the screws line up with the slots.

If I did this then I’d need to weld the brackets to the body to get it to mount like factory right?

I think like the person did in the thread from 2016; if I cut the studs off and then drill small holes 1/4 or M8-M10 and attach some
Captive nuts there and screw it all together it would work. Maybe I should see how far in the lens go to make sure I don’t hit the screws.
