The brackets are drilled into the bumper so that plus 3m tape there makes that very sturdy. Almost impossible to rip off already so i don't see the benefit of using betalink there.
The questionable area is where the spoiler meets the bracket. People really do need to sand and wipe down the bracket/spoiler before adding the 3M tape there. Sanding is critical for the tape to adhere to the Carbon and smooth plastic. What you could do is add a very thin bead of betalink on the edge of the bracket (side closer to the ground) while using 3M VHB tape on the upper section if you want it to be extra secure but not end up using a ton of betalink making it super messy and impossible to remove. This would minimize any 'oozing' of betalink when you push the spoiler up against the bracket since you only have a small thin bead of it on the lower section.
