Default Plastic Screws with Velcro heads

I've found 3 (one missing?) large headed plastic screws (black) in the front trunk. They have large flat heads with plastic velcro to stick to the carpeting. I can't figure out what these are for!?

thanks

Ok I'm pretty thick! LOL
In the light of day these are clearly floor mat anchors. I found them in the front truck. I did find patches of opposite velcro at the corners on the drivers and passengers floor mats but I can't find any holes in the floor to push the plug ends into. Are these spares?

On a new car there was a set of 4 of the round pads in a box. Porsche has used several methods over the years to keep the mats from moving. Some people do not like the idea of screwing the pads into the carpet on a new car. I guess that is your situation if the pads are not already screwed in.

There is no premarked location. The owner is expected to figure out where they go. Or you can just forget them.
