Default 02 fatboy stock seat install

I have a 2002 fatboy. The stock seat has 2 thumb screws on the sides and one at the rear of the passenger seat. I do not have a place to screw the side screws into. They should screw into the frame (I think/It looks like) but there are 2 large hex button head bolts where the seat should attach. The threaded hole in the frame at this location is much larger than the thumb screws on the seat. I bought this bike used. Does anyone know are there adapters to put in these holes to accept the stock seat? Thanks in Advance to all replies. And want to say this forum ROCKS!!! Everyone on here is so helpful. Thanks!
