If the space is too wide, they probably won't do you much good anyway.
The idea is to keep the hood from rattling and to stiffen it so it doesn't vibrate up and down as you drive on the roads. I'd try to locate some thicker pads or padding.

But to answer your question, I don't think it would hurt to silicone them in place. It would just make it harder to replace in 20 to 30 years.
