you sure you have the rails in the right position both sides, did mine a few months ago and thought that the bolt screw into the shell(assuming you undid the 4 bolts holing the rails and seat in)

If the anchor nut has broken away then you might need to consider installing a rivnut. It's a captive nut for blind holes (look in Ebay). They're not difficult to fit even without any special tools and they're very strong

I know what's wrong! Happened to me...
You will need to put a flat bladed screw driver and flick up that plastic cover the bolt goes into. Now you have access to the nut the bolt screws into... Mine was standing up on it's side and I had to flick it down to its flat so the bolt could go into it... Problem solved for me and I hope it helps you
