As your choices are limited to return the product and do without or do a proper DIY job I would suggest the following.

Double sided tape comes in many forms but generally speaking the more expensive the tape the better quality it is, Woodies do 2 brands and the more expensive one is well worth the extra money.

After the double sided tape job is done get some Bondic to seal it from the outside, it is not a glue but a weld and needs UV light to seal the weld, Bondic is about 3 times stronger than the best super glue. Easy enough to use.

MG do not supply wind deflectors they dont make them .You can get them on Alli Express or Amazon DONT they are shite .Got some today they are going back .You fit them with double sided tape FFS the wind would blow them off .or a carwash .

Was watching Wheeler Dealers one time and their mechanic was an ex-Formula One mechanic.  He was fixing some car with a rear spoiler and was using double-sided tape.  He said F1 use double-sided tape as well in their race cars and the tape does actually work.  YMMV obviously.

The best wind deflectors in the world are from climair a German manufacturer, they are pricey but will not fall off, I think they pass the German tuc for insurance because if a wind deflector comes off and hits someone insurance will not pay out, because it's classed  as a modification. they are made to measure for every car, not sure about the MG5 as its new to the market. The one you get of eBay our Mick's garage etc are crap. Climair only sell through their website. Also check the vids on YouTube about them.
