About 10'x12' The slab is there so I need to attach 4x4s for the corners, what is the best way to anchor these?

Welcome to the forums.
"The best way" would be to cut the concrete where the posts are going to be, dig footings, fill them with concrete and set a column base (CBSQ or similar) in the wet concrete at each corner. Give the concrete a few days to cure, then build your arbor.
