They usually stay in all by themselves, but you can use latex caulk to
hold them in place if it makes you feel better. As another noted,
they don't have a lot of free air area. You might want to look at
cutting a slot with a circular saw and installing the 2" aluminum
strip vents.

Are you sure you want to do this?

They have very little area and what there is is partially consumed by
screening.

One rectangular vent would offer as much ventilation as twenty of those
round jobbers - and with considerably less effort.
