I "think" you might have the wrong clips, but I'd have to take a closer look at mine. The trim in front of the Dutchman panel, in fact all the convertible trim around the top, is attached by screws coming up & in from underneath. I believe the holes in the trim clips are more centered in the trim (again, I have to look). There are holes along the body line "lip" where the screws go.
I do have holes in the "pinched" area. The fasteners pass through those holes into the clip in the picture that slides into the stainless trim that is assembled as shown. I am missing the description of that one part that fastens them.
