Have you tried looking at the inside of the boot behind the area of interest?

If you lie on the floor with your head behind the rear tyre, you'll see the closest subframe mounting bolt - the stud is almost directly above this spot. It's fixed into the strengthening 'girder' that runs towards the rear bumper. The head of the stud is hidden inside this girder- it can't be seen from the boot (or anywhere else).
You need to take the liner off to get a good view of the stud position - not that you can do that because the stupid thing will start spinning! If they'd protected the thread with a domed plastic nut it might have been alright - but they didn't.
