Hood pin questions

I read in a post that the locking hood pin kind doesnt fit on our CF hoods. I got Mr. Gasket hood pins and they should be arriving soon. Any tips on installing these?

Initially I didn't want hood pins but the hood vibrates a lot when I drive above 50mph and it's kinda scarry. The left side is also curving up a bit so I can see part of the engine compartment. And the main reason is they won't let me pass state inspection, the inspection place told me to take off the VIS branding where it says "For off road use only." and to get hood pins.

you have to cut the hood pins to make them shorter. The hood pins will hit our headlights if you don't cut them.
