Do you insert the white things first, "from the front of the car", then insert the screws?

The white anchor is similar to a drywall anchor as you push it through the dimple holes you drilled out (with a 10mm bit) then when you run the screw down it pushes out the middle flange of the white anchor, engages into the threaded part of what now becomes a "T" and cinches down on the back of the front bumper.
That's what I was getting at.

Don't over tighten---it will strip!
