Are you sure you ordered the right ones for the bike? They are shaped like the indentation and come with a nut and washer to secure them,
Yes, they aren't all too bright during the day and don't shine forward much at all.
Recently installed some Proton Flush Mount Turn Signals myself. I made a first impressions video (my first Youtube video! lol):
Proton Turn Signal Flush Mounts for Yamaha FZ6R - First Impressions

I also made a how-to for installing them. I will have to edit a few different video clips together - I should have it posted soon. Hopefully these will be helpful!

NIce video man. I literally used it today to install mine.
That's the only thing stopping me from getting flush mount. Stock lights doooo look a lil wonky...but I'd rather them look wonky as opposed to me being a wonky looking hood ornament on a car. That said, I'd prefer something brighter still. At least the running lights are good for at night since they stick out so much.
And for the tail end...the light's about the size of a bicycle light...really hard to distinguish me as a motorcyclist at night. Would love to have a wider tail light with some running lights integrated into the back along with a fender eliminator...make it nice n slick since those stock ones aren't running lights.
I'm just going to put this out there....
Bikes are hard enough to see as it is and then you guys go and yank the turn signals off the bike and put these flush mounts with extremely dim LEDs in them and expect them to work.... These things are a failure at function.
If anything you should be replacing your side markers with high powered LED system that will actually get you seen...
I'm actually in the middle of working up a 4-5watt LED set to replace my stockers on my bike so I can stand out and be seen all that much better.
So these Protons are "dim LEDs" ? Hmmmm... gotta look into that.
I personally, in 3+ decades of riding, have found that a good flush mount signal is as good or better than the stockers found on most bikes... and looks a hell of a lot better... particularly in the FZ6-R's case. For visibility, get yourself a good set of motorcycle lights. 4-5 watts just ain't gonna do that much for you!... IMHO
Does anyone have specs on this product? I can't find anything more than "super brightness" on the seller's description and, of course, that's just sales speak.
And I'm still looking to see some good photos of the lights both loose and installed.

4-5 Watts in proper efficient LEDs will yield some serious light. On the set I built a couple years back got me flashed at all the time because people got pissed off because I ran them hard. With the newer series in LEDs the yield a much higher lumen now as well. You got to know your LEDs. Check out the Clearwater Krista and Glenda units, those are on the extremes of the led markers.
via mobile, crazy...
