Default What am I missing (Passenger seat hardware)

Trying to install my passenger Corbin. I took the vanity nut cover thing off the back and am looking at this. What am I missing? I know a bolt goes in, but I don't want to screw up my paint.

Did you have a solo seat on the bike before you got the two up? If so, look at the spot where the solo mounted to the fender. There should be a nut and a retaining clip there. Just take it out of the solo hole and use it for the two up.
Edit- BTW, once your passenger gets on there and wiggles around a couple times you will get some wear marks on your paint.

i don't believe solo seats mount to the fender on a fatboy. My solo mounts to the sides of the bike. Can't find a decent rear fender seat screw assembly (Chrome) online, I'm going to see what the dealer has 🙀

I wouldn't worry about finding a chrome insert because you can't see it when the seat is mounted, at least not on any bike I ever owned. It is hidden under the seats mounting tab and the screw/bolt that holds the seat down. Check the link below for the insert then find a chrome screw or thumbscrew to put in it.
