Gas filler door reinstall?

The door was detached when I bought the car and it looks ridiculous without it. However I think I am missing a part to mount this thing. When I set it in place there is nothing in there to screw it to? What goes in there to bolt this door to? Pics attached.

Don't forget the gasket. The door won't line up right without it.
