Default Seat bezel attachment point?

What does the front edge of the seat bezel supposed to attach to on the seat? There is a hole, I assume something is supposed to be there to hold the screw? Is it just a speed clip? Thanks.

There are 3 points where the bezel is attached to the seat.
1. at the front edge, this is a long screw that just goes into the metal frame
2. front side there is a press fit post that usually breaks off
3. under the recline handle. again this is a short screw that goes right into the metal frame

Many of the bezels I have seen have the mounting points broken, so if your is not fitting well it could have broken posts.

The front corner of mine was broken and repaired, but rebeoke. I ordered a new one that comes Tuesday. I will see if I can find a screw that fits for the front. Thanks.

The screw for the front of the bezel is 2 or 2.5 inches long.
