Help with Agency Power CF Diffuser install

Hey guys,
I’ve been at it for about 20min and I can’t seem to get the agency power cf diffuser to stay in place, especially the corners (around the exhaust). There are metal studs on the inside of the diffuser and I assume I’m suppose to drill holes in the bumper reinforcement. However, the studs aren’t even long enough to contact the reinforcement.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was able to successfully install the diffuser by removing the rear bumper. A lot of work but it came out nice

What did you do with the 2 bolts in the upper corners of the diffuser? I'm thinking i'll Dremel those off, remove the bumper, screw the tabs on the diffuser after sliding them through the inserts on the bumper and then reinstalling the bumper.

Thoughts?

Did you have any luck on this install? I was also considering this diffuser until I read about possible fitment issues.
