The new retainers will come with adhesive already applied. You just peel and stick.

Thank you very much for your answer. By the way, this is the part marked in the picture, correct?

Correct, you will need two.
The new fog light covers have been installed, and they look much better. However, I’ve noticed that the gap in the area marked in the picture is larger than before. When I lift the front bumper upward , the gap closes, but it reappears once I release it. All the clips and screws are properly installed, and the mechanic assured me that the installation is correct. My concern is that during car washes or weather, water could get inside and damage the wiring or sensors behind it. I’m not sure if this means the covers need to be reinstalled.

I’m sure the fitment is the same as what you were seeing before, you’re just overanalyzing it now lol. Looks good!
Took it apart again and carefully checked the clips around the new cover as well as the one under the headlight that you mentioned earlier. After reinstalling, there wasn’t much difference. Maybe I was overanalyzing it
. Thank for your help.

I wouldn't worry at all about water getting inside........... All the wire connectors are a "weather pac" / weather resistance from the factory and while not completely waterproof. That small of an area would be a tiny increase from what gets under hood from the factory grill openings etc......
It makes sense. Appreciate it!
I also picked up this bug screen and installed, I noticed there are way fewer bugs on the radiator. But I’ve read online that it might affect airflow and cooling— is that right?

For sure it'll restrict air flow and cooling and depending on the density of the strands (space between the wire mesh) it could be detrimental. Keep in mind of those that have added lights behind the grill which would block more airflow your grill screen....... my advice is keep an eye on the temps for a bit and unless you see them creep into the high zone, I'd say you'll be ok. I don't know if you get much snow, but I'd make sure to revaluate the temps after the snow starts flying. I travel back on forth to Maryland during the winter months and sometimes there is a lot of ice build up in the grill area, so a more open mesh (1/4" openings) DIY install is on my to-do list.
