Assistance reinstalling rear seat

1991 HZJ77 - For the life of me I can't figure out what to do with the long rod - can someone post a picture of their rear seat brackets? I know where it goes, I just can't figure out how.

Awesome, thanks! Could you take another with the seat in the normal position, from the front?

Same bracket with the seat in the normal position.

Thanks. I got the seat in and it's secure and working. I honestly don't know what that rod actually does. It's obviously under torsion, but everything seems fine without it. Does it just assist with the fold and tumble action?

I have no earthly idea.
I hope I never have a reason to reinstall mine.
