Question H5 Mounting Question

Question in three parts. Apologies for the length, any help/ideas appreciated.

Decided to take off my headlights. Bored I guess. I notice that the left one is not very secure, upon further examination, I see that two of the four flanges that attach the bracket to the fender bucket are missing in action. See photo #1 below:



In comparison, this is the other side of the same headlight assembly:



The left side headlight has all four mounts intact. Since it's not an original bulb, I'm presuming that a gorilla attempted to remove or tighten the mount, they broke them - anyone else discover this problem? (No, there is zero evidence of any body damage anywhere on the car)

I looked on Pelican online catalog, and don't see just the mounting assembly - is this part available or do I have to buy the whole kit and kaboodle? I guess going to one of the used parts guys is an option.

Part 2: In the bottom of the headlight bucket in the fender are two holes. Pic below:



I see in the Pelican Catalog they sell a drain tube - in which of these two holes do they go (#1 or #2); and what goes in the other hole?

Part 3: I thought about cleaning the inside of the lenses. How do you get it off the reflector?

Thanks guys!

Don
