    Very mature of you. Bolts have different names in the adult world.

    it's for a plate ,not load bearing,so it makes no difference.

    Nylon inserts that snap in. Than the screw or a 1/4 in. bolt threads in.
    The Help section at auto parts houses have them for license plate fasteners. Strange that they weren’t included on that bracket already.

    My recommendation is to use stainless bolts and washers. Try 3/8×1/2"
