The red arrows point to the side plates that are in position.

The yellow arrows point to the two fasteners that await the "tie bar shield".

I thought this picture might clear things up..... I know it did for me. I appears the tiebar shield ...

Yes, the parts may be anywhere. I haven't been able to locate them, so I am on this search to acquire one.
