Right hand single station has been out for a week detailed painted and back in as of today . There are two bolts that bolt the support to the engine rails which are in ! But I notice there are two holes just inside the backing plate on the floor where the support comes through the hull sides I can't find any info in the books on these two should these have bolts as well if so should the nuts be on the inside and bolts up through the hull floor ?

Dale, those 2 bolts come up from underneath and are threaded into the suspension station arm. They cannot have nuts on them as that would interfere with the brake rod.
If the suspension station arm threads are damage, you can: try and tidy up the threads with a thread tap, leave the bolts out, or heli-coil the threads.
