    It depends on how severe (if any) damage you have.
    1. If no damage yet or minor stress cracking, you can simply place them on the shock mount (interior side) and bolt shock to the plate (reinforcement).
    2. If you already have more severe cracking or tearing of the sheet metal, you can cut it out and weld in these plates to fix the shock mounting (replacement).

    It's a common failure point with the E36 chassis due to thin sheet metal and these thicker plates help distribute the loading impact forces from the shock.
