"5. Finally, used zip ties to hold in place. That was challenging and I was able to put only three zip ties per vent."

Ever consider well nuts or something similar that expand as you tighten the screw? Even a piece of AL plate or rigid HDPE (to avoid scratching...HDPE holds screws well and is UV resistant) the same width as the vent openings but long enough that as the screw is tightened the end of the plastic would hit a barrier in side the well...harder to explain than to fab.
