Default BackRest Pad Install

Okay this may seem like a dumb question but I am going to ask anyway. I just received my backrest pad for my king tour pack on my Road King. The brackets that are attached to the pad are not tightened down/as in they swing freely. When I mount this to the tour pack should I figure out where they need to be and tighten them down or are they loose on purpose to allow for easier mounting to the tour pack. Just want to make sure this isn't going to come loose going down the highway.


Thanks
