Default Diamond back seat

Just got a diamond back seat 52629-00 and tail piece for a 2002 fxst. There are two screws that attach the tail piece to the seat, then the normal thumbscrew that attaches the tail piece to the fender. Basically the front of the seat and the rear of the tail piece are the only attachment points on the bike. The seat itself moves left and right and doesn't feel solid. Is there a bolt or something that should come up thru the bottom to attach to the seat now?

Basically the seat just doesn't feel as if it's mounted solidly.
