T-Series MGTC Door Latch Backing Plate [screw loose]

CCURTISS

The two top metal screws on one of the interior door latches on my MGTC seems to be stripped out. I assume the threads in the L shaped backing plate in the door has stripped out (looks like it has 3 metal and one wood screw). I see I can get replacements from moss or abingdon but I am not sure how difficult they are to install.

Has anyone every replaced this before and do you have any pictures or guidance on what is behind the interior panel and how they are replaced? Also is the interior panel normally stapled, glued or screwed on?
