On 2016 and newer models there's weld nuts available for you to insert two more bolts in the brackets for the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411-204. Since you have a 2012 you're good to go with just the two bolts you referenced. In the attached video below where Dave installs these on a 2013 you'll see he only uses two bolts on the side brackets when attaching them to the frame.
