For the safety of the driver and occupants, please take your RX to a qualified mechanic. Even if no one is sitting on the seat, the seat itself has lethal momentum due to its weight [50 lbs minimum ... realistically 80 lbs if not more.]

Were the threads stripped or the just close together (fine threads) that it took lot of turns to tighten? You need to tighten it to specified torque to keep the bolts from getting undone. Just keep an eye on it for couple of weeks.

Glad it worked out for you.
