Question Front seat bolt location

Newbie here. I'm glad I came across this forum, because I've looked pretty much everywhere else and haven't been able to find an answer. As Princess Leia said to Obi Wan, "you're my only hope." LOL. Okay, now that I've established that I'm a geek, let me get serious. Question involves a 2014 Avenger.

In addition to memorizing useless movie trivia/quotes, one on my hobbies is amateur radio and police scanners. I've been using a hand held scanner in my car for a few months, putting it in a cup holder to keep it from moving around. Well, now I want to install a mobile scanner in the car; a scanner that's bigger, has a better display and has better sound. I know exactly where I want to put it, and I even have all the mounting hardware, but I have just one problem....

I can't seem to locate the bolt that holds down the track the front seat slides back and forth in. A friend gave me what's called a RAM mount. It kind of looks like what police officers use in their vehicles for their MDTs. The only problem is, when I push the front passenger seat back as far as it will go, there's no bolt that I can use to secure the mount. I know that track has to be secured some how, but "how" is what I don't know at the moment.

No matter how I phrase my search query in both Google and Bing, I draw a blank. I'm hoping someone here has had an opportunity to remove a front seat and knows exactly where the bolts are located.

Many thanks in advance for any information provided.

Well, talk about a "D'OH!!" moment. They were literally staring me in the face the whole time.

They are underneath a plastic cover that snaps onto the end of the rail and over the bolt assembly. All the time I was out there poking around, I never gave that a thought. Let my brother look at it for 5 seconds and he's all like, "are they under that plastic piece" So I pry one off and sure 'nuff, there it is.

Have I mentioned I hate my brother?? LOL.
