They are held in with large screws from the inner side of the frame. To see what you're up against take a look at this on-line parts website, for exploded diagrams of the frame and footboards.

You haven't told us what model and year bike, so try harder to use the link I gave ya. Take a look at the footboards diagram, find the footboard brackets and their mounting screws and remove them. They are items #3 on most years. Simples!

Having a FatBoy myself, i do know that certain manufacturers design head pipes specifically for floor boards and specifically for forward controls. I would recheck the model number on the pipes to make sure you have the correct ones.....

Can you get the model number and maybe post a pic? also email the seller and find out if it came off a softail with forward controls. I would try to send it back myself. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish the differences between some pipes. Hope you get it figured out...
Also isn't that right mount welded to the lower rail?
