Just drag and drop them from the list of all available attributes to the “Attributes Used in Layered Navigation” column.

It automatically changes the “Use in Layered Navigation” option to Filterable (with results) in the Stores -> Attributes -> Product -> [selected attribute] -> Storefront Properties.
