Ok thanks for the info guys. I got in there yesterday and was able to see how it's constructed and I snugged them up.

Still learning my way around the plane as I inspect and maintain things, I think something goes into the logbook at least once a week seems like. But I figured it was good to learn about what holds the wing on ;)

Thanks,
LS

It looks like the mounting plate things riveted and glued to the rear of the wing fit flat against the tabs on the cage in the back, and so could (should?) be tightened pretty snug like the front ones are.
