Hi finally got fed up with the kickboard falling and moving so bought a few plinth clips they fit the cabinet legs fine but I can't seem to find them small enough to attach to the dishwasher & washing machine.

What do people use?

Those clips are designed clip to the cabinet legs and are the only type commonly available, so you often run a plinth across the front of appliances clipped to legs at either end. Where that isn't possible, e.g where the washer is at the end of the run, I've often rigged something up with magnetic door catches, etc as I carry them in my bits and bobs box and they are widely available:

The door catch is screwed to the end panel, the metal plate is screwed to the back of the plinth. The other things I use are Keku clips:

which are a mechanical clip and are fixed in the same way (left side piece in the picture to the inside of the end decor panel, other piece to the back of the plinth piece). They are used a lot in shop and bar fitting and public rest rooms where removeable access covers are needed.

Magnetic door catches look like they'll do the job
 
A small word of caution - in the event that you go need to pull the end appliance out for any reason, it's always better to remove the magnetic portion from the decor panel in order to ensure the maximum clearance is available. That said my washing machine hasn't budged in about 8 years
