Default 98 Civic EX passenger outside door handle

Hello,

The outside door handle (the whole assembly as opposed to just the flip up part) is kinda coming out from the passenger door. I can push it back in, but it never goes flush, and when you open the door it comes back out a bit.

Does anyone have an iDea as to what might be involved in fixing this?

I'll post a picture of this later to better indicate what the problem is, since I think my description is a bit vague.

There should be 2 bolts holding the handle on from the inside. You have to remove the door panel and tighten the bolts if loose, or install bolts and tighten them.

Since it was a nice day, and I was replacing the muffler, I figured why not pull the door panel and tighten the bolts.

The front bolt isn't there to tighten.

I suspect this bolt (93403-06012-08) is the one I need, but only the back bolt is listed. The bolt has numerous uses in Hondas so I'm sure it's in stock at my local dealerships. I just would prefer to be sure.

To maybe save someone else the annoyance of looking for the bolt, it's an M6x12 (sorry! I didn't check the pitch). There's a short (maybe 4 or 5 mm) shoulder on it, and a 1.16 mm lock washer, and a 1.5 mm flat washer.
