Default Siderail problem!?

I just installed a Volar LED combo taillight and removed my rear turn signals. Now the siderails have the two holes exposed from where the turn signals were mounted. My question is: are there any replacement siderails without these holes or does anyone sell plugs for these holes? Also, I bought some saddle bag supports that do not fit. Can anyone recommend the best and cheapest ones to buy until I can get detachable bags and brackets? Anything helps, thanks in advance!

How about some stainless bolts and acorn nuts. It'll only cost about $8
