As long as you can still screw into them I wouldn't worry. Could do more damage than good trying to replace them.
 
That must be rust from the screw because that’s Like a plastic fastener/ gromet type thing and I think they just pop out and you can just pop a new one in

As above. The insert will be plastic. If you cannot get stainless steel screws to fix the number plate then put a dab of vaseline in the holes to protect [part of] the screw form rust.

Thanks for your help, any idea on how you replace them?
 
It should just pop out. Use something
At the edge just and slowly prise it out

And hope it doesn't snap and drop inside the body, the rattle could drive you mad :blink: Don't fix what's not broken :)
