Are you talking about the bigger secondary optics or the small dome shaped primary optics on the LED itself?

These lenses are pretty old too. They were part of the original LED Group Buy in like 2011 I think. Are they out of date or is a lens a lens?

Secondary optics. Those are easy. Tiny dab of silicone on the edge where the plastic contacts the star/circuit board. It will hold them in place and is easy to remove later if needed. Glue them with the fixture laying on it's back, not with the LEDs facing down. Give it a couple hours to set. You'll be golden.

Oh, and a lens is a lens. They are fine.
