Default 2012 recline seat lever broke?

When I purchased my 2012 C6 it was missing the drivers recline seat lever. I purchase the seat lever but I think something is missing. Any hep would be appropriated.

Do you have the metal retainer spring/ c-clip for the lever to remain attached to the threaded shaft on the seat?

No I have to get that part. Even without it there is nothing on the seat side for the lever to fit on. Its missing that part.

So on that note, pull the switch cover to make sure that is seated all the way in correctly to allow the spine lever shaft to stick out the needed amount (shaft its self may have been pushed back in), because right now, looks like the spline lever shaft was cracked off at the annular groove for the lever clip to snap onto (how short it sticking out past the switch cover plate, and lets just hope that its the cover plate that is not seated correctly, of the spine shaft just has to be pulled out more to expose the lever clips annular groove instead ).
