to the function of these clips and how they are to be fitted?

I've never bought a screwfix radiator, but they may be intended
to go on the mounting brackets to avoid metal to metal contact,
which has the potential to make a ticking noise as the radiator
expands and contracts.

I've just looked at a Screwfix rad I fitted a year ago and that's
excatly what they are for .
