Swinging for Divorce…

I'm a bit confused...

The factory does not seem to have the backup plates that clamp the housing to the quarter.

It also looks like the tabs could be bent to fit into the correct positions.

Ok so this picture helps me understand what others have been saying, I’ve never seen it from this angle.

From this view it seems The studs are not supposed to go through a hole, only 1/2 the stud is covered by the tab and then the nuts just kind of hold it all tight together.

Should I not be worried about it rattling out?

I was thinking when the book mentions the bracket being welded on to the car it was literally this bracket. And with this bracket the stud goes through the hole.
