Default 40 ford fordoor. Still need help with rear armrest

Still cannot figure out the rear arm rest. Ordered new interior. Have the metal arm rest with the hook on back. I know it needs foam on top but how does the cloth attach down below the metal of the armrest. I know the seat helps hold it in. Is a thin wooden board supposed to go there to tack it to or what. Havent had much luck with other people's pictures. Have seen 2 different things but I have the interior cloth to cover it but what else is missing? I'm trying to upload my pictures but will email upon request

The stock rear arm rest on a two-many door is NOT metal but a formed piece of fiber board that fits down to the floor. Without finding those pieces you'll have to do some fabrication to make things work...
