There are two OEM loom designs that might apply to your car.  I suspect
the one you got is the tube, where the wires come out holes in the sides.

Those are held in place by two metal straps that wrap around it and are
bolted down with two of the cam cover nuts.

The 87.5 should really have come with the later style loom, a flat two
piece plastic thing that comes apart and can be re-stuffed with new
wires.  Those snap onto a metal plate that attaches to the side of the head.
