Right, there are supposed to be 6 of them.

They're 3/8"-16, 1½" long IIRC.... not very hard to come up with

There's a chance that somebody didn't forget anything. If someone doesn't know exactly what they're doing, a couple of them and be difficult and they might have said "frig it" and put you down the road. But we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they "forgot" a couple, lol.
