Default Replace Splash shield clips

Recently, had the front, center, and rear splash shields taken off of my 2005 Lexus RX330, in order to, spray the undercarriage. However, the retainer clips/silencers broke, and I've been trying to find a good site to get replacements. Not trying to pay dealer prices for something like this. I've been looking through amazon and ebay, but not sure if the sizes are correct and how many of each I would need....

The two front under car sheilding is held on by bolts (front one) & the rear behind the front is held on w/ sheet metal screws using inserts.

These clips can also be found on the 2006-2007 Highlander hybrid, 2011+ Sienna, 2010+ RX and 11+ Highlander

I could not find a knockoff of the two subframe clips that use a screw, so I ordered some 51453-48010 / 51453-0E010 knockoffs to try instead

I just received the clips recently and can confirm they won't work without drilling out the splash shield's hole larger.

If you have a 3D printer, you can print these recreations of them I made
