I'm sure this must have been covered numerous times on the forum but my searching mojo isn't working, as it turned up nothing related with 'Plain tile' or 'Rosemary'
I can find lots of videos showing fitting brackets to a plain clay tile roof (the tiles are often called 'Rosemary' in the UK) they all show the use of Genius Solarflash Flat Tile Flashing Kit

or

But one supplier says they don't stock them as they are unnecessary!
But without them how do you keep water out?

Hookstops seems to be more about not breaking the tiles under under the bracket when standing on a rail but my rails are not going to be horizontal that doesn't seem to apply. A photo of my part open shed roof which is the same as our main roof is here:

Any pointers or advice gratefully received.
