Those are self tappers!
The issue is the curve of the bracket shape makes it impossible to use a socket drive to drive in the screw. So I used the punch to mark the spot to put in the screw. Drilled a small hole to make the self tapper cut threads easier. Screwed them in place with no bracket, removed the screws, and put the bracket back in place. Then the hard part of getting the screws to tighten down with just a open end wrench. The arch of the bracket just blocks the possibility of using a socket. If the bracket were bigger, it would not fit under there.
It was just like shoving 100 pounds of crap into a 90 pound sack. I made it work, but it was tedious.
