1966 GMC front turn signals

[Hardworkinguy]

I am trying to re-assemble my new lenses to the housings in a way that they will snap back into place. I drilled out the original brass rivets,thinking I could pop rivet or screw them back in,but that won't work without hitting the hood and keeping them from snapping all the way in.

I did a search,and found a link to how to do it,but the link was dead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
