Default Audi license plate holder - screws too short for 2 bottom ones?

Those of you with the Audi license plate holders - My screws are too short to make the holes on the bottom of the license plate. Is it ok to just leave them empty or did you find longer ones somewhere?

TIA

Default can leave them empty, or go to dealer's part dept ...

I went to my dealer and told them the stock screws were too short for the Audi frame I bought, and they just gave me new screws.

Default I left mine empty 'cause I'm ghetto like that, but if you want to do it right, you should cut that

big black plastic holder down to size.
