Loose CX-5 Spoiler Inserts

Today, I have looked at my rear spoiler(I remember, somebody pointed out a couple of days ago, about this noise coming from the back, but I can't find that thread), because I was hearing some weird noises coming from the rear.
I have removed the two rubber plugs, behind the spoiler and to my surprise, on the left side, the nut it was gone, I couldn't find it and on the right it was loose, I could turn it with my fingers.
I would suggest to everybody, to look at your spoilers.

Same thing here. I was hearing a rattling sound that was driving me crazy which led me to this post and sure enough it was a loose driver side spoiler nut - actually the nut came off the bolt and was rattling around inside the black plastic cover; the passenger side nut was still firmly attached to the bolt as were the 2 center nuts under the long black plastic trim piece.

My 2 black plastic triangular outside spoiler inserts are still loose so will try the double sided tape trick to see if that will stop the noise as well.

I just tightened down all 4 of the accessible spoiler nuts but I find that the plastic triangles are loose. From what I am reading, the only way to tighten them is to remove the full rear spoiler...Tighten the screws and reapply the double sided tape so that it can’t come loose again?
