Don,
Apparently you are missing the metal bracket that that
is normally bolted to the upper plastic piece with 4 each 10-32 screws.
The bracket is 1 1/4" long and fits around the steering column.
There are "wings" 7/16" wide that two 10-32 screws pass through.
In the bottom middle there is a rectangular hump with a pal nut
(sheet metal nut). The screw of the bottom plastic piece
joins here. The screw hole is lined up with the rearmost
(away from the dash)mounting holes in the bracket.I will attempt
to "text" draw the cross section of this bracket:
hump (with screw nut)

This is fairly close considering my drawing tool.
This drawing is upside down from the normal mounting.
