    It's perfectly normal if you are worried something is wrong. The left side of the bed has a female bracket and the right side has a male one. The left side of the tailgate slides into that bracket and the right side has a C shaped cup that drops on the right once the left side is in place.

    Nothing yet
    Yes and the bushing on the left side is probably the damper. It’s to keep your tailgate from slamming open.

    Gorilla tape to protect the paint and hose clamp to hold it in, for the win.
