They're called "clip nuts".

Got a Napa near you?
They should have this blue binder with all sorts of things in it like that.
Not pictures but the actually piece.
Makes matching up stuff easy and if can't find the exact thing probably find something you could make work.

Yeah, that NAPA binder with those few pages of clips and fasteners is slick and leaves no questions...My local ACE hardware store even has a drawer of those U clips....

I'm retired from the Napa now but I visit the store from time to time.
Sometimes I just go through the binder to remind myself of all the goofy stuff in there that could come in handy.
LOL.
