There should be a bracket that bolts between the fixing you have noted on the over-rider and a threaded hole/weld nut in the bottom surface of the rear chassis rail for both sides.

Miles - you have informed your insurance company, and as you are not making a claim, that is all you have to do. When it comes to renewal you will have to inform them as I believe one of the questions will be "have you had any accidents or made any claims...", two which you can say, "...
