Need Some Help: Z06 Muffler Bracket Bolts

I am aligning my exhaust tips so they line up as they are slightly off.
I have removed one muffler from the exhaust bracket and one of the bolts is up inside the frame and I can't see where it is gone through the bolt opening.
Is there a way to get at it out from above or does it simply have to be fished out through the bolt opening?

Any ideas.
Thanks

the bolts in the frame is one braket with bolts on each side of it, you could prob. just take the bolt that is still showing and move it till the other one drops back into the hole.

And NEVER take those bolts loose again! Its totally unnecessary for cat back removals and installs.

I have heard of this nightmare happening to others and some have had to remove the rear fascia to get it worked out. Best of luck friend.

Fished the bolts back in through the hole.
Noticed it is indeed one bracket, thanks for your help.
