Best way to repair/install attic vent baffles (air chutes)?

Many of the soffit vent baffles (air chutes?) inside our attic have cracked or come loose. Also, not enough were installed when the house was built. What is the best way to get them back in place or replace them from inside the attic?

We have a bunch of blown-in fiberglass insulation and I want to avoid compressing it when working in the tight space (angle of roof and ceiling joists) to get the baffles back in place. Does it work to use a board or something to lay on or should I just try and balance on the ceiling joists?

Any and all tips on how to do this are greatly appreciated!
