I messed up and the cows are destroying it!

What happens here

Using a Milwaukee drill with a magnetic hex bit, drive self-tapping screws through the pre-marked holes in the claw insulators and into the metal fence posts. Ensure the insulators are snug but not overtightened to avoid cracking the plastic. Position the insulators about a thumb's width (approximately 1 inch) from the top of the woven wire fence or the top of the metal post to ensure the hot wire is well above the main fence.

Goal: Securely attach claw insulators to metal fence posts.
