'73 Steering Column Sleeve Question

I have this column sleeve that shows no screw holes. How do I fasten it down? Please see my video here:

Thanks in advance for any help. —Mark

The plastic bell cover should have three raised areas on the backside that go into grooves on the round extension below the cover. A lot of times these get broken and the bell cover is loose. Its only a press fit so being loose wont hurt anything. It covers the metal bowl underneath that is activated by the backdrive assembly for key locking and locking the transmission selector.
