The tags doesn't matter if your carpet has no holes, saves screwing in to it, you don't really want to try add them and cutting holes in the mats either

yeah I know it won't be nice punching holes in new mats but my carpet does have the screw in tabs but the mats don't thats my problem I think if you a decent enough punch and mark them up it shouldn't be too bad but ill see how much they move about first

Yeah get them in then , get an old or cheap mat and practice a few times on it to perfect it, maybe just glue/bond around the inner hole edge aswell to prevent any fraying etc

Assuming these mats are nylon you could just gently burn the edge of the holes for a neat finish.
