It should be just like the driver's side where it's a flag nut inside the frame and you unzip it from the outside.


Is it not?? (Added pic)

I see could see it, would you recommend me using my finger to hold that piece while I I tighten it so it doesn't fall into the frame?

The frame will hold it in place. It should rotate then the "flag" will catch on something allowing you to remove the bolt

^^ that all day. It'll get probably 1/4 turn each direction before it catches on the frame and you're set. To reinstall, just hold the bottom of it and fish it into place, turn just until it starts the bolt then get after it with your ratchet and torque wrench.
