Yes Sean, there's a drill in your future. I'd tape them on first and mark the holes the best you can.
You can put them in one or two spots, if you check out pictures, some are higher or lower but ensure the nuts inside don't foul the mirror movement.
Good luck.

thanks so much ,stood scratching my head thinking im sure they just clip on somehow ,thanks again

I'd used 3M double sided tape instead (used for automotive trim) and skip the drill.
I've got 20,000+ miles with that and no problems.
And I have some where I drilled the holes which are a pain in the anatomy to get 'right'.

I reckon I'll leave that up to your imagination ...
You get three guesses and the first two don't count!

They’re currently made of unobtainium, where’d you get a complete set?
I drilled mine 20 some years ago. And again due to tip-overs. And I’ll drill again, next time.

Worse then the one I had on...
(mangled mounting holes... got ripped off by the drag at full flight later on...
)
Yep, drilled mine......... Yep.... got it wrong & mirror fouls the mounting nuts.
Fortunately mirrors were in the correct place for me so have not had to adjust too much.
Be careful, measure at least twice, drill once.
Good Luck.
