How do these parts go back on the head? Timing cover?

I forgot to pull some stuff off my head when dropping it off to the machine shop, being the amateur that I am. They returned these parts zip tied to the head, they look like timing covers. I didn't see them in CAPS when trying to visually find parts in that, when looking at the head.

Can someone tell me how these go back on? Which bolts do they use? I didn't get any bolts back so not sure if it was just stuck on from being on there so long or if they just forgot to give me the bolts. Maybe it's timing bolt cover bolts? It'd suck not to get my car back together just becuase of a small amount of aluminum. Pic attached.

the longer thinner one goes on the head on the left towards the front and the other one goes on the right toward the back of the car.Don't know what bolt but 7 to 9 ft. pounds. both on the timing gear side
 
They use little 6.0mm bolts that requre a 10mm socket. Imagine where your cam gears would be. They slip in behind the cam gears right onto the head. You cant mess it up. They only go on one way. There are little threaded holes in the head that will line up with those 2 metal pieces. They help the timing belt cover stay in place.

I don't have the bolts, anyone can tell me what bolt to buy at home depot? Dang it. Or is it the timing cover bolts that hold it, and mine was just stuck on from being on it so long that it didn't fall off before I brought it in?

Nice pic, at first it was not showing until I clicked reply.
