MG MGA - Headlight chrome rim query

My headlights are the original style Lucas bulb type - 3 adjusters. The chrome rims are clicked into place and should be be held in place with a screw at the bottom, mine don't have the screws as there is nothing for the screw to attach to!
See image of my chrome rim, there is a small dome at 12 o'clock and what appears to be a drain hole at 6 o'clock and also countersunk fixing screw hole at 5 o'clock.
Does anyone have a photo showing what this fixing screw should attach to or is it just retained by the chrome ring (the hole in my chrome ring is larger than the screw diameter).
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike
As luck would have it i was playing with these the other day
Apparently early MGA have the screw and later just clip on like MGB--samr with earlier and later Minis

Here's a pic of the clip you need and----the part number is---- 37H7421A----
