Default Soft top pivot(sunrider) bracket missing.

I traded my hardtop for a twill soft top. It is the MOPAR one as well. I didn’t notice until after I got it home that the passenger side bracket that latch in the door surround for the sunrider part is missing. I see MOPAR offers a replacement pivot but it appears to require sitting the two frame bows. Has anyone installed this replacement part or found any other way to repair it??

Am I understanding you correctly- you've got a new soft top with the sunrider feature but your frame does not appear to have the correct framework to support the feature?

it’s the correct frame however the bracket on the right side is missing. It’s the bracket that latches into the door rail

It's almost a flatter triangular bracket with the hole in it? I can look through my parts and see if I've got one.

Let me take a picture of the drivers side and I’ll shoot it to you. I know the original bracket has two screws in it.
