No problem. It took me a year to have that little epiphany as I'm not the
brightest bulb. Zip tying the stays directly to my fork wasn't staying in
alignment so I was desperate. LOL
Here's a couple pics for inspiration. First we have the fork mounting:

using the "zip to zip" method.
On the rear I had eyelets, but I chose to zip the back of the fender's
little clip (drilled a hole) to get the fender closer to the tire and thus
deflect more debris. If you don't have a little crossbar between your
chainstays, then simply drill two small holes in either side of the fender
and zip to the chainstays:
