My hat is off to you for ripping out the panels yourself.. Would be gutsy move for me haha
I would look for fastners with the ribbed shanks for aluminum frames... The more pronounced ribs the better...
Something like this google image - I don't think these ribs shown are not really pronounced enough for aluminun framing

It might require a screw instead at least in the four corners... A quick trips to LOWES should fix you right up haha... I always found those guys with a wealth of info along this line
