Tail light bracket and hinge bolts

anyone have any pictures or diagram of how they go. I believe there is 3 bolts per side and one bolt is shared between the hinge and light bracket. could they be put together and share both bolts? thanks.

Carbs & Chrome, I could not get pix of mine but the plate is blocked by bumper, and mine bolts to hinge bracket. It looks like you have 3 bolts there.
