Tailgate Molding...how does it attach?

Im not sure if I should post this here or in the automotive section but...
Does anyone know how the stamped piece of metal that says "ford" attaches to the tailgate? I really can't figure it out, I could be missing some pieces on my tailgate though...its been loved.

There are 2 acorn style nuts on each side that are hidden when the tailgate is up. They are on the edge by the tail lights. There are also about 6 torx head screws that hold it in place on the inside of the tailgate. They are across the center of the tailgate.
