You might try gluing a metal plate on the back of the hole with the correct size small hole drilled in them. Screw it right back on. ---

Use an epoxy. ---

Or just use a screw, nut and a couple of fender washers ---

Or just drill new holes if the original holes are too big. It doesn’t matter if they are in the exact same place as before. Another option is those c clips with the retainer for the screw on them. At any auto parts store. Probably going to help to pull the wheel off to have room to work or here’s a better idea, just let a shop do it. They’ll have everything needed at hand. ---
