I want to install an aio in my case, thermaltake h21 versa, but there are no fan mounting spots on the top of the case (where I want it). I was wondering if it was possible to somehow mount the fans to the top where there are fan shaped holes but no screw holes by drilling holes or something.

This case is teasing me there are two perfect 120 mil fan shaped areas with a grill but no screw holes.

No problem.
First take EVERYTHING out of your case. everything.
Drilling will create metal fillings that will kill your PC.

Then layout the area where the holes will be with masking tape.
Carefully measure the hole locations and mark the tape.
Use a nail and hammer to make a small dent at each hole location.
The tape and dents will keep the drill bit from wandering when drilling.

Drill the holes.
Then clean the case to remove the metal filings.
