Just looking at the bezels that seem to have (3) tabs with holes.
I would suspect that the dash has (3) tabs with holes that line up.
Not knowing of any special 'clip', I would use machine screws and nuts or sheet metal screws and spring nuts.

Yes the 3 tabs line up to 3 tabs on the dash. Mine are secured with machine screws and nuts.
