Did my dealer install my front plate mount incorrectly?
I'm a little confused as to how I can mount my front license plate.
The back plates are easy. There are four screws equally placed on the plate:
But while the front plate mount also has four screws, they aren't positioned in the same way as the rear plate and therefore won't line-up with the holes in my license plate:
So am I missing something or did my dealer install the front mount incorrectly? Thanks.

No flame but your point is what? The rear in most cars gets 4 to avoid the air currents and/or noise when closing the trunk.. The front gets 2 because the air forces it close to the car.

I too thought the screws just self tap into the plastic holder. I don't have the front plate on my car though, but I do have the plate holder stored in my garage 
On the same note, I just cringe when I see those screws drilled into the bumper like that. I know it's the law in a lot of places including mine, and a risk to run without a front plate, but I just couldn't have them do that to my car.
