Hi Sharon, consider the weight that the planted window box will be. If fairly heavy, I'd mount a board about the length of the window box to the metal and on through to the studs/framing behind the metal, then mount the window box onto the board so the weight is distributed.
Step1) Attach the board to the siding where you would like your Window Box to sit than
Step 2) Once the holes are pre-drilled, drill the brackets into place.
Step 3) After the brackets are secure slide your new Window Box into place.
