Screws in the ceiling?

I need to replace a ceiling-mounted CO detector and I can't find any current models that fit the existing base plate, so it looks like I have to attach a new base plate to the interior ceiling. The ceiling appears to be some kind of padded vinyl. Can I just use screws to attach the new base plate and detector?

    I only see one option......screw it on. Or you will just be making problems for yourself down the road.

    When we replace both of ours. WE use screws. One was close to a light and I could put a screw clip also on that one. Been that way for the past 8 years. Ready for a replacement .

    I guess screws are winning the poll. Thanks again.
