Default Zip ties aren't the only option.

I did the same thing to my grill, and this is how I did it. First, cut off all the tabs on the backside of the rings. Next, JB Weld four machining screws to the rings. I put one in each of the four outside "intersections" (where the rings overlap each other). I put the screws there, and they matched up exactly with the grill. Then, just get four washers and four nuts and connect it. Doing it this way secures it extremely well, and you can't see any zip ties, string, or any other way of connecting it.
