Default Where do these screws go?

I bought an interior screw kit for my 69 427 coupe.
Amongst the different screw sets, there is this one shown in the photo below: 69-77 Dash pad & steering column mount screws.

I have already replaced the 6 black dash pad screws. What you see inside the bag are the old ones I took out. I have the 2 new silver screws and washers left. Where do these go? I am assuming they are for the steering column mount. But they don't seem to match the size or number needed. Any pointers?

Thanks in advance.

From my AIM. Maybe the dash map pocket?

Since the 6 black screws were clearly meant for the dash pad, I assumed that the 2 silver ones are meant for somewhere around the Steering Column Mount. Unless of course the screw bag label is wrong. So I didn't even think about the dash pocket to be honest.

OP,
Your 3rd photo shows the steering column cover and override switches. The 2 outside chrome screws of the column cover are those screws.
I recently opened the same bag for my 77 but my 2 chrome screws were chrome SEMS screws (Washer Attached)...not separate...

this was also my first thought. so they ignored the 3rd screwed (further up towards the steering wheel (can also be seen in the 3rd photo)? also, my existing screws are different than the ones provided, but this of course can be due to somebody before me replacing them not in a proper way.

Same here, just the 2 screws...
The 3rd screw on my 77 (missing from bag) has a nylon washer securing the screw to the cover...
Who would ever pry off the nylon washer to remove the screw from cover anywayslol...
