Worst case you can get an automotive retainer clip kit with thicker push pins and use those. They'll also come in handy whenever you break one installing something in the trunk area or for the interior.
Mine's a 2017 SS Convertible

The pin was the split center type - whenever i tried to use that to install the premium splash guard, it would pull out very easily (without having to pop out the center pin). It almost seemed like I couldn't get it deep enough to grab the piece behind the wheel well liner. It did work fine when I tried to install the front non-premium splash guard.

Oddly, the premium kit camp with 4 Christmas tree fasteners (along with 4 screws)....

Thanks for the quick reply... I'll give it another shot with the premium set once the non-premium set starts looking beat
