motor driver shield covering ports for ultrasonic sensor

im new to arduino and am making an arduino car. the motor driver shield covers the ports (am connecting an ultrasonic sensor) and i know that we can connect it to the ‘holes’ on the motor driver shield (l293d) but i do not have a solder or header pins. there’s a lockdown and i cannot get any of those. can i make a makeshift arrangement? (refer img): it is a little loose, is there any fix using jumper wires or any other arrangement? please let me know!
