Our bikes use threaded clips to mate the various body panels. There seem to be three types that are most common, two for threaded screws and one for what look like wood screws. The latter are unusual enough that I'd recommend adding a couple to your next order from CSC. These things are cheap. Somehow I lost one clip and it took a few days to get a replacement from CSC. Of course I ordered a bunch of extra in each size so if/when I lose the next one I'm only 2 steps away from solving the problem.

FWIW, I had the same issue with a BMW, a Ducati, and a Triumph. The local dealers for those brands had the clips in stock but my stash of parts does not include the size needed for the Zong.
