Update:
Appreciate all the tips. I purchased a endocsope and a couple magnets snd a wire claw.
Still waiting on the magnets on a string and the claw, but I think I'm in good shape now.
I probably would use two plastic zip ties, with one in each hole. Insert plate in top opening while holding plastic tie attached to top hole. Next, grab with pliers or hand the 2nd zip tie at the bottom hole. Pull plate close, cut top zip tie off. Insert and loosely tighten top bolt screw. Next, cut bottom zip tie off and screw in bottom bolt.
A helper probably will help tremendously while trying to attach striker and bolt.
I purchased a endoscope and some magnets on a string and a claw, still waiting on the mags snd claw, but I think I'm in better shape now that I have some eyes.
Just for curiosity's sake, let us know if you find another bracket down there too. That would have been spot-welded to the B-pillar to trap that threaded plate in place while allowing it to move around a bit.

Fixed her
After I received the endoscope, I purchased two magnets on bendable sticks.
I worked the Metal plate ( thank god) into place
where the top drilled tap hole was identified then placed a circle shaped aluminum tent stake into that hole.
While holding it in place I mounted the bottom striker bolt through striker plate, removed tent stake and rotated plate and finished top hole.
Had to close the door and readjust the plate a few times to get door to shut flush.
Ill never do that again, thabk you for all of your suggestions and ideals fellas.
