Default Interior plastic trim under steering column

The receiving ends of the clips are broken. I think the shop broke them when repairing the bushings on the shifter cable. Anyway, I've tried JB plastic weld, 3M adhesive, Loctite super glue, etc but nothing worked. Can i use some super small screws or will the plastic crack?

I'd try screws; drill holes through the plastic parts so screws fit though readily and do not overtighten.

Plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene are not friendly with any glue. PVC, ABS, etc. glue well.
