Otherwise you have to take off the plate before you have access to the bracket

I did the same thing, and found a small plastic plug at Lowe's to put in the holes.

Then I went a step further and trimmed the aero panel down to allow 50% more airflow around the sides of the plate.

I went ahead and trimmed down my Aero Bracket as well.

The joy of living in a 2 PLATE State. The Plate looks washed out because the Flash on my Phone went off when I took the pic.
