If I recall on mine there is enough room and angle from the inside for 2 fasteners either torx bit or allen heads fwd and aft on the handles

these fasteners have a special shaped washers that have to be oriented correctly to hold the door handle

Maybe a heavy all purpose grease to glue washers in position

Are you satisfied with the quality of the new seals and your vendor source ?

Have a look from the inside the door and orient and get back with me

Will look at mine later tonight as my interior door panels and such are off the car

When you remove them place a towel in place to protect if you drop the screws and special washers
