You take the 'tabs' off.. + install the new tweeters using the same bracket to hold it

You have options! Put the tweeters where you need them in the openings (centered). Go around the outside with a heavy bead of good glue/silicone (I use GE Silicone 2 in clear) if you think you may need to remove them later or something. For more permanent use a hot-glue gun around them. They don't move much if any at all since they are just highs so glue/silicone worked fine for me and I can peel them out and remove the silicone if ever needed. Allow them to fully cure in place before moving the panel.
