Good morning,

I attached a picture of the hardware kit for you to view. The double attaching part goes to the top of the pad and the single snaps on the lower part of the pad.

I should have mentioned these are wedge style calipers. The clips look like these. I am just not sure of the correct orientation.

They go on the edge of the pads to keep them from moving in the caliper.

They push on to the edge and then just fit into the caliper.
