Default '79 Courtesy kick panel light question

Hey guys, maybe someone here could help me with an issue that's had me frustrated beyond imagination for over a year now.
Ever since I've had my '79, the passenger side courtesy light has just kind of hung down from under the dash and I can't for the life of me figure out how or where it clips in. There's no obvious spot for.l it like there is on the driver's side. I've attached the best picture I could manage to get. Does anyone know where this stupid thing clips in? Could someone post a picture of their courtesy light for reference? I feel like I'm missing something real obvious here.

Hi JR,
Here's the sheet from the 79 AIM.
It appears there's a small bracket riveted to the upper/rear corner of the kick panel. The courtesy lamp clips into the bracket.
Maybe?
Regards,
Alan

Alan, you are my hero. You're exactly right, looks like I'm missing my bracket. Looks like a previous owner has been under the dash, replaced my kick panel, and did not install this bracket again.

Found a replacement online.

Thank you so much!
