you could try tape all the way round the bumper. or a tape mesure from the floor to the top of one then the bottom. (btw your avatar looks mint)

get someone to help you and use some double sided sticky tape - as its not as think as blue tack so you can test it better.

you could also use a patracta (them half circle degree measuring tools from maths) to measure the degree on which you want the canards to sit at

apart from taking it to a bodyshop who would do exactly whats suggested (what my bodyshop did on a previous car) im out of ideas.

put one on one side where you would like it to be with bluetack or tape etc.

Measure the distance from the side of the bumper to the hole for the bracket then measure the distance from the hole for the bracket to the bottom of the bumper.

On the other side measure the same distance in from the side of the bumper and from the bottom of the bumper up and that will give you the position of the hole for your bracket.

Once the bracket is on both sides will be in the same place.
