With most of the clear lenses you can wind in/out the metal locating pin on the back to take up some of the slack and get them to locate tightly, however I would recommend using tie wraps or similar on the plastic clip the reflector sits into to when they're fitted to stop it popping out under tension.

You can gain access from underneath the car or behind wheel arche liners :thumleft:

Mine were loose bolt the min properly and re use the Toyota bolts and the toyota Male part from the original reflectors as its a chunkier part and wont fall out. I lost one and found it again changed the push pin for the toyota one and its solid and doesnt even wobble now :thumleft:
