Spoilers in ski boots

So I have a pair of salomon ghosts, and I want to attach the forward lean spoilers, but I can't figure out how. I'm assuming since there's holes in the spoilers, there would be holes in the shell that would correspond with them, but the only holes seem to be for the stiffeners, and not the spoilers. If I have to drill out the holes, then fine. And I don't just want to shove the spoiler between the liner and the shell. I like stuff to be solid and consistent each time I put my boots on.

I thought spoilers typically go between the liner and shell? ]
Granted, I haven't examined ghosts

^And I think that's where they go. Is there something I said that confused you.

No velcro or anything? There's got to be some intuitive way of puttin in the spoiler. There usually is.

^Yeah, to my understanding, spoilers go behind the liner between the liner and shell. There doesn't seem to be any corresponding holes in the shell to the ones in the spoiler, and it looks like it's supposed to be screwed on.

When you said "And I don't just want to shove the spoiler between the liner and the shell."

I thought you were suggesting that they go somewhere else, but i think you just mean that you want them to be in there solidly, not just wedged in between and not held there by anything

Yeah some of the old sollys e.g xwaves had a screw that went through from the shell and through the spoiler to attach it in place
