they should push in and click into place on the top clip which is attached to the bumper,try bending the clip down slightly they are only plastic,or are you trying to fit new indicators? as some of these are crap/poorly moulded and wont fit properly,should be chucked in the bin

make sure the securing clip is there in the bumper to stop the indicator from comming loose.

Sure there is one.
