I know Virginia is stricter than Ohio, but if there are no holes or bracket, you are not required to have it

I ziptied mine cause I didn't want to drill any holes on my bumper, I got pulled once saying it must be on a bracket, but he let me go.

I just got L brackets and drilled holes on the underside of the vents and mounted my license that way.

Plates in the front suck ...
I work in Jersey, where they have that law, but fortunately my cars from PA.
