Under-engine protection plate bolts

While fitting my RLD sump guard today, I found that the LR under engine plate was dangling on only one bolt, one of the two at the front. How many should be there to hold this in place?

The car was in the dealers late last year for a new clutch (under warranty), so looks like the plate wasn't put back properly. Just glad I discovered it before it let go altogether Evil or Very Mad

P.S. with assistance from my trolley jack, tried to get the monster into super extended mode, but most I could manage was extended. What's the trick?

Once in extended, foot on brake and hold 'up' until it bongs and raises Thumbs Up

mmh, tried that, but only ever got it to "extended". Does it matter where the obstruction is? I had the jack under one of the front suspension mount points, so effectively only one corner "stuck".

No, that should have done the trick Confused

Was it in neutral? And in extended, not just offroad height?

Yes. Tried EPB on and off. Clutch down/up. Foot on and off brake. Got the message "suspension in extended mode" or similar, and "lower suspension when obstruction cleared" or something like that.
