Default Second Row Seat Strut (Stay/Prop)

I have searched high and low for information on how to replace the Seat Stay on the drivers side second row seat, I have a new Stay/Strut but I don't know how to replace it. There is a pin that is broken that is connected to the bottom.
Is the connection point for the bottom of the strut part of the floor bracket or is there a pin I need? Any help would be appreciated.
I am new to this forum. It looks like it will be very useful!

I know this is 1.5 yrs old. Did you ever figure this out? Mine just broke as well. The welded ball pin sheared at the bracket. I can't get the ball out of the stay socket. Stay seems to be fine if I can get the broken pin out of it.

Looks like it needs a new floor bracket IF the welded pin is already on there.
