Mounting front license plate bracket

Mounting front license plate bracket
I spun off the road last winter. Minor damage to the ex, just scratched up the front bumper pretty good but realized my front plate came off and I am looking at it and for the life of me, I cant figure out how the front license plate bracket is supposed to mount on. I need to buy a new one (need to stay legal you know), but want to make sure I get the right one and know how to put it on. Feel like a retard asking this as I figure it should jump out at me but it doesnt.
Anyone lend a hand?

My front plate mounting bracket was missing so I gabbed an old "CB radio" mounting bracket and bent it to fit. I did not like it sticking up into the "air slot" either so I mounted the plate from the bracket using the top Plate holes, that way it sticks down and not up.
PM me for a picture.

my 03 had a lite bar that hid the stock plate,
so after this pic ws taken,
went to home depot and got a $9 pop rivet gun,
drilled two holes and mounted it in the facia below the grill..
(MAN, I liked that 03 !!!! )

No problems so far. I got some snow tires last winter in e's, and forgot how loud these are compared to the winters. I do most of my miles in the summer, and have them on. They are actually wearing ok, this being their third summer, 1 full year, 1 summer and now this one. I don't haul a trailer tho, but even if I did I would get them because the weight rating is right up there like the e's, plus they fling mud pretty good, so I'm happy with them.
