Default gen 3 es loose door hinge help!!!

For some time now my rear driverside door has been loose due to a loose hinge. Does anyone know where the bolt to this hinge? I've serached every where i thought the bolt would be to tighten it, but it seems to be non-existant. Ive checked behind the rear seats, in the trunk, and inside the rear fenders. I'm hoping that they didn't enclose the bolt behind a metal wall in the trunk or else i'll never be able to tighten it. On a good note the door doesnt come loose, there's just always the annoying door light that goes on while i take turns. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Here's is the pic of the loose hinge i was talking about:

Pop off the black plastic cover and there are 2 torx bolts under it. And thats actually the door "Striker" not the hinge. Hinge refers to the door pivot point.
