If you don't get an answer here, give Mid Fifty a call. They are always willing to help.

Not sure on a 53, but on my 56 there are threaded keepers to hold the bezels in place. The light switch has outer threads and the wiper switch keeper had inner threads.

Like this 1953-55 Ford F-100 6 Volt Headlight Switch Threaded Insert for lights and this 1953-60 Ford F-100 Switch Insert, Wiper Heater for wiper and heater

Its a separate piece.
