Default Fairing wind deflectors?

I bought these on Amazon thinking I wouldn't have to drill in the fairing. I do not see any holes for the screw attachment.
Are they hidden inside on the edges?

Do you have them in you hand? Or are you just looking at the pictures on the web page? I see them on the web page, but if they were delivered with the holes missing, it's time to return them. I bought a cheap set from ebay and used them for a season before I decided to go ahead and buy the OEM HD ones and I love them! The cheap ones move position from where you put them at while you're riding around, but it was a good "Pre Purchase" test for the HD Ones.......
