I just received a hitch/receiver cover I bought off eBay. It has two black twist lock pins on the bottom and the top has a row of tabs...clearly I'm missing an insert on the bottom holes for the twist lock pins and I guess something up top for the tabs to hold on to? Can anyone post up a pic of their mounting locations for this cover when it's removed?

The bottom twist locks mount on two tabs on the bumper itself. The long top mount should have rivets/nails that push into the bumper.

You purchased and installed mine from an eBay seller last week.

You are missing:

5 rivets
Two metal tabs which secure to the bottom bumper for the twist lock pins
Two retaining washers for the twist lock pins

Also, it's not clear in in your description of you are missing this, but there is also a black plastic piece which rivets inside the top of the bumper which the top of the cover connects to.

If you need pictures, let me know.

I ordered my hitch cover from an eBay vendor and I also thought the parts needed to attach the riots to the underside of the bumper were incomplete. I ended paying my dealer $25 to install it since I was due in for service anyway. From eyeballing it, I think you could just attach the plastic strip with self-tapping screws instead of the rivets. The rest of the install is pretty straight forward. Something that I don't like is when you remove the hitch cover now, the little twist locks come completely off and don't stay connected to the actual cover. They're tiny, so I can see them getting lost very easily.

Thanks for the replies. I figured I was missing parts. My bumper is part-less just some holes top and bottom. I'll try and find a parts diagram online. Thanks.

That specific one says it will not fit a 2015. The one I bought was from a private seller. I messaged him to see if he'll give me the hardware since either part(s) is useless without the other.
