I bought an OEM Toyota tow hitch of an identical truck - a 1998 Extended Cab - but it looks like it's missing some hardware.

I was told it mounts to the bumper brackets? The guy told me it is missing one or two bolts.

How do I mount this and what am I missing?

Thanks.

Here's the hitch

Here's the right side WITH hardware

Here's the left side WITHOR hardware - its missing.
