Default '94 Headlight motor brackets missing. Need advice.

Headlights stopped rotating correctly two weeks ago. So I watched repair videos on Youtube.
Bought brass gear kit on Ebay. Tore down headlights.
Surprised to find brass gears previously installed, with a couple of screws missing.
Found motor wire chewed through on passenger side. Fixed wire.
Noted missing triangular brackets that I saw on videos. (see photo.
Reinstalled headlight assemblies.
Driver's side turns halfway.
Passenger side motor not functioning, despite power going to it as proven by test light.
What should I do next?
Thank you so much.
NOTE: Photo shows missing brackets. They have never been in place since I bought car 2 years ago. What do they do? Do I need them?

This headlight motor bracket is missing on both sides.

The piece you are asking about is not needed on the 94+ headlight motor. Ive got a 94 bucket assembly I can do some pictures with if you need them.

I can check/rebuild the ones I have and sell them to you. They are extras from a part out.

ChumpVette,
I'm interested.
Need price and logistics.
Do you need the cores from me?
Where are you located?
Thanks.
