A few years ago I got some rock n roll seat brackets from JK and they came with fitting instructions
I seem to remember that the 2 arms at the back of the brackets had to be fixed to the firewall of the engine bay
But I recently got some from fleebay and they are only fitted to the woodwork of the seat base and to side of the kitchen unit
I found a long bolt abd fitted it to the seatbelt securing hole through the side of the seat base on the sliding door side

A bit of a struggle but trial and error got it sorted

I still have the bit of ply with the holes in if you need the measurments
Let me know and I will take a pic and some measurements
