I've seen one guy here on the forum make a set of "L" brackets and mount em to the license plate with holes for the turns. Saw another who mounted em thru the side of bags. The standards use a tube that mounts to the license plate so the turns can mount there too.

got any pics??

Moving them to the tail light bracket works just fine. The whole process took me less than half an hour.

If there are more than three bolts holding it on there, it is most likely a very important part!
