Default whaletail fixing-3 door

the whaletail on my car isnt held on by a lot-basically just the two catches it slots down onto and one out of all the other screws
what is the centre piece normally secured by-i see an allen bolt in one side at bottom[above boot lid]
the other screw holes dont seem to have anything to screw into on the tailgate
what do most people use-rivnut? if so what size did you find was best?
its tempting to sikaflex it on-but i would like its easy removal if need be -without damage...

You can see I used m5 rivnuts to help secure the spolier as mine was held on with wood screws.
