I tried to do that, but it didn't work 100% (I called them "sheet metal clips" in my previous post).

The problem is that I couldn't clip the speed nuts onto the fibreglass tunnel; for two of them, the screw holes were inset too far and for the third, the fibreglass was broken at the edge and wouldn't hold one.

So instead I tried cementing them in place while I screwed down from above. One of them snugged up nicely, but the other two must've spun as they never fully tightened.

Sorry I didn't take any photos to show you what I mean.
