Our (current) awning mudflaps are designed to go inside, underneath the groundsheet if using one. The elastic guying points that hold the bottom edge of the awning get in the way of pegging the mudflaps on the outside. The bonus with our mudflaps, is that they are A/ rather large, and B/ rather heavy duty, so the don't need pegging, and do stay in place.
That aside, on a previous tent, that didn't have pegging points along the bottom, (just a 1.4m deep open extension) we did do this (pics below), using the aforementioned Clingons, and I have to say, it worked rather well. I was subsequently advised to maybe reduce any possible stress by adding a very short guyline or elastic between Clingon and peg, but I never got around to trying it. (On this occasion, it was pegged directly through the Clingon).
