What type of eaves do you have? Are there soffits under the eves, or is
the facia right against the house?
If you have soffits, is there any reason not to use the rectangular
ones? They have more vent area and have pre-drilled holes in the flanges
to screw them in.

If they don't have any retaining ridges around the sides, I'd probably
find some that do. Alternatively, a dab of caulk before it's
inserted would work.

I'd also consider using other methods. With a small battery powered
circular type saw, you could quickly make two runs down the whole
side, open up a couple inch wide channel and insert that type vent.
