There is a nut plate on the inside of the door. The stupid part is that it's not attached to anything. If you take out both screws it slides down the harness for the switch. I had that happen to me and was able to hook it with a magnetic pickup tool and get it back into position.
This is a new switch I recently bought. The sleeving is way too big to go through the hole (and it came in an AC Delco box), but it will give you an idea of what the nut plate looks like:

I don't remember offhand. Probably one of the large Corvette Parts suppliers. It might have been an eBay purchase. I like to look up parts by part number on Google and pick a low cost one that looks reliable (lots of ratings with a large percentage positive).
