CPP disk brake install

I just got done installing the rotors and calipers on my 56. The kit installs flawlessly except the little dust covers at the end are really loose and wont stay on. Do I need them if I have center caps on my rims? Could I just put a little epoxy or something on them to hold them in place?

Just make a small little divit with a center punch on the inside of the caps be careful and don't go too hard with the hammer, if one divit isn't enough to tighten it up make one on the opposite side also. The divit will be inside so it won't show. Be careful you don't get the cap out of round. The little bump will face out.
