Default Number plate fixings

My (embossed metal) number plates are both secured by the double-sided sticky foam pads, which I’m not too fond of!

The front number plate, because its curved, frequently pops off at one end or the other, and I had cause to remove one end of the rear one recently (to get at the little hole that I drilled for emergency boot opening), which put a slight bend in the number plate, and it now refuses to stick back (even with a new sticky pad).

The pre-drilled (and tapped) holes at the rear are too large for the yellow and black plastic bolts that I got from Halford’s and I’m not sure if there are holes for the front plate.

Has anyone found a good solution - you must have done!
