IMHO the only way to attach plastic is to do what OEM do, use grommets and shoulder screws, which means screw is fully tight but force on plastic is evenly spread and plastic does not touch metalwork.

My Puig carbon fibre look hugger came with grommets and shoulder screws and everything lined up perfectly ... I was very happy with quality and the fittings.
