So, what would be the correct way to attach/fix?

There's another explanation- 

The seams on my hoods were indeed leaded, but the hinges bear on those points of the hood. So over the years, between vibration and rust, the spot weld 'spots' get pulled down and leave dimples. It's really more of a case of a design that wasn't very good. 

You're not supposed to spot- weld panels in visible places... but Nissan did it all over the Roadster.
