2011 Charger front license plate install question

I just got a 2011 Charger and the front bracket, screws and brief instructions were in my trunk. I found the 2 dimples and have aligned the bracket and pushed the bottom side into the openings on the grills but when you put in the 2 screws are they supposed to go through those dimples making a hole in the bumper??

Thanks for the info. I was kind of scared about putting the screws in through the plastic...thought I ask first

it was scary for me on my 2006
i took the ugly factory [black] plate holder off & just put the plate on my bumper.
i put mounting tape on the back of the plate so it would not scratch the paint on the bumper. i also bent the plate to fit the contour of the bumper.

but yea, putting new holes in the bumper was a hard thing mentally to do.

We only use one plate in Michigan. If they changed the law I would move. Front plates are uuuugly!
