Default Help - stuck on softop install

I got a craigslist soft top for my 4 door hardtop and am putting it on for the first time.

The 3rd and 4th bow have nothing connecting them at what appears to be a pivot point. Am I missing a connection to the roll bar or am i missing a piece that connects the 3 and 4 bow?

What year Jeep do you have and what year Jeep did the soft top come off of? The 2010 soft top is slightly different from the 2007-2009.
