Installing concrete anchors on large, existing pergola?

I have an existing pergola on my property sitting on concrete that does not have existing concrete anchors holding it down, even though there are post brackets there (No idea why they are missing)

The post brackets look similar to these:




My question is being so large, I can't see a way to move each post out of the way to hammer drill the holes for the concrete anchors, so is there a way to just drill the holes through the post bracket holes? Or do all anchor holes need to be bigger than the bracket holes?

I've only looked at a couple concrete anchors but all of them were a larger diameter than the bracket hole, so I figured that was a no go...looking for suggestions. Thanks!
