Replacing Yakima SlimShady Awning Clamps

Question

Question:

Hello I busted my yakima slimshady clamp driving into my garage. I want to replace it with new clamps, however the mechanism is different on my stock hardware vs the replacement parts. On my stock hardware, there is a hole in the bracket for a bolt. A nut sits in the top of the clamp assembly to attach the clamp to the bracket with a bolt. There is no nut in the replacement clamp hardware. How does that hardware attach to the bracket? Id assume I can use my old bracket, unless that hole will be an issue with the new mechanism? Thanks
