put them back on using a screwdriver to bend them a little to snap back over the area where they were originally, make sure that the flat end with no points is the area against the brake disk and it should come around and have the *points* or hook ends wrap around and point toward the middle of your pads. if this doesent help, call a Parts store and ask, or even the dealer. good luck

Put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels. Locate the calipers and brake pads and remove the pins and clips from the calipers. Slide out the old brake pads and push the piston back to make room for the new pads and shims. Slide in the new pads and shims and put the pins, clips and cotter pins back in.
