I’m sure this has been discussed before but would like to look at a video on installing the front license plate bracket, I want to do the factory installed bracket and do not mind drilling holes.

Installing factory front license plate bracket

Ok, no answers is there a way to use the factory bracket and use adhesive instead of screws. I want it exactly where the original bracket is installed.
I would try some 3m double sided tape that stuff is surprisingly strong
3M Super Strong Automotive Attachment Tape, double sided tape, foam tape, 3M mounting tape
Also another option is do like this guy did with long bolts he was actually selling these on forums but you can make with some long bolts from Home Depot

I'm taking a lazy path and saw this one on eBay for $13 after shipping. It has 5 star reviews. I'll let everyone know how it is when it arrives this weekend.
Merrill I removed the nose cone and put it on my wooden workbench face down. On the inside you'll see 3 raised circles that correspond to the mounting holes on the bracket. I used 3 half inch hex washer self-drilling sheet metal screws. I drilled into the center of the center hole from the inside. Flipped it over and attached the bracket. I then drilled the other two from the front and installed the screws. The supplied plate screws were too long for the top holes so I just used the bottom two holes. It's on there good and snug. In the future I may drill the top two holes so I can use the other two screws. Here's the mounting screw I used.
