Dectane/Depo LED rears on 997.1 - mounting screw?

So i got these Dectane/DEPO LED rears for my 997.1. wired them up and they work fine. However the mounting screw(s) is completely different. On the 997.1 OEM lights there are two screws. On the DEPO/DECTANE LED's there is only one, and it's too far away from the body work to be secured properly (even with a really big washer).
Does anyone with a 997.1 who has installed these have any suggestions?

m3drei is infamous around these parts
you will need to re-use your mounting bracket on your OEM lights.

Simply unbolt the big Philip screw from your OEM lights, remove the bracket, and re-bolt them onto the Repo lights.

When removing your OEM lights, just unscrew the middle screw. The dectanes slide right into the OEM bracket. You place them and them screw the middle screw back in place.
