You can't as far as I know, 300ex has duel a-arms and trx90 has single.

I would reccomend leaveing you 90 ones one there, the tie rod mount could throw the tie-rod angle off and throw your whole fornt end out of wack, JMO

There is another reason, You just need to put you stock back on, someone out there has to make a front disk kit. If you really want to do it i guess you could throw a washer or two in there.

You need to understand that just because they go on doesn't mean they'll work.

Theres such a big size difference in those quads, and if that tie rod mount is just a little different it will cause your front end to toe-in or toe-out really hard on landing.

Say your front end toes-out hardcore on landing, whatever tire has the most traction will cause the bike to veer to the side really hard....which can have bad consequences.

So unless you got your info from an extremely reliable source(somebody who builds trx90s), go back to the stock spindles, or find a disc brake kit
