OEM threaded insert installation into frame

[Jondrew]

I’m installing my OEM steel bumper tomorrow (hopefully). I see in the TrailRecon video that you need to install a couple of threaded inserts into the frame. Has anyone done this? I bought a few of them and they dont look like standard nutserts. They have flat edges that fit into the frame so they dont rotate. Do you just put them into the frame and bolt them in so they are flush? Do the squish out to lock in place? A standard nutsert requires a tool (or you can do it with a flat washer and wrench like in the linked video).

They still need to be "squished" into place just like the round nutserts. The hex makes them a lot easier to install without the click-style tool, though.
