Default How to: Fix headlight screw ins?

Alright so when unscrewed the bolts holding in my headlight, I realized that the two plastic parts that actually hold the headlight in place are broken.

This equals a loose headlight that sticks out further than it should, and it shakes and wobbles when going over bumps.

I guess I could get a small sheet of metal and solder it down so that it fits where the bolts are supposed to go... but I don't have a soldering iron handy. A

Anyone know of any other suggestions?

soldering probably wouldn't hold it.
