The black housing does not "attach" to the gauge cluster.
The housing lays on the cluster, just the way you have it. The gauge lens then sits on top of the housing, and all three pieces go into the gauge bezel from the back. Everything is then secured to the gauge bezel, by 4 screws that go through the holes in the cluster, and sandwich the other pieces between the cluster and bezel.

Hmm ok thanks that what I was thinking but wasn't sure...
I don't have the screws will they be part number k1131 from corvette America?
No, those look like the ones that hold the cluster into the dash
Let me check

I believe they are the same that hold the clock into the cluster (but I'm frequently wrong), PN 447143. It's a 1/4" hex head self (#8?) tapping screw, not real long, 3/8" or so

How/where can I find a voltmeter like the one in the pic for my 71? I'm mainly interested in replacing the battery gauge with a voltmeter that looks similar to the other gauges

Most vendors are now selling them (LS swap driven I guess)
Green lettering is available Corvette central #393122
White lettering Corvette central # 393136
Willcox may be selling them by now, not back when I bought mine.
You need to drill two holes in the back panel but otherwise a straight forward swap

Ok well let me know what you find out I don't have any bolts at all my console is there and the gauge cover is there but no bolts for anything
I added some details, check the above post. You may want to see what all your missing and ask the forum members, someone may have stripped a console and have what you need available.
Adding the year of your car to your profile (that cluster looks to be 78+) and your general location will also help as members may be close to you.

Any chance you can take a picture of the bolts for me? I'm having a hard time getting any info on these screws
Mine are together so it would only show the head
Here's basically what they are though (except I think they have flat ends not pointed, should be able to get something from NAPA
