You may need to move them.
You cant add them as you can only have 1 pair of side repeaters.
Generally skuttle mounted ones will fail the 5degree rearward angle as the rear arch blocks them.
Some people mount them on the front arches, but this can fail as when the wheel is turned, it can fail on the angles.
The only safe place to guarantee compliance is the rear arches.
Having said that, people have passed IVA with them on skuttles or on front arches, completelt depends on the tester.

Just to echo loggy' s comments fit them on the front of the rear arches, it's the only place you can really fit then to guarantee a pass.
Loads have passed with them on the front cycle wings but it depends on the tester. My tester openly admitted that in common sense terms it
wasn't ideal to have them on the rear arches but it was the only way to 100% satisfy the requirements on a 7 type car.

You can fit them in the mirrors as an alternative, these passed.
 
Mirror with button indicator
You "just" need to check the rules in the manual, position yourself at the back of the car as stated in the book and if you can see them
it will be fine, otherwise - not.
