Default Headlight mounting tabs?

Hi, I just tried to install these headlights I bought only to realize that all of its upper mounting tabs a ripped off. I want to know if there is a way to fix/replace the tabs but I see it only seems to be for every other model besides ours.

And a sidenote, something I did this weekend:
