if you look a the picture in the link given of the back of the boat you can see it without the plate that has the steering wheel and seat
you see the ridge that has the bolt for the main sheet
you see the rectangle portion directly behind that ridge where the chains and cog for the steering apparatus to go
a palte sits on top of that plate and the screws that keep in attached will not hold and come up

The build pictures show what was done, on that particular day, or within a range of boats made about the time those pictures were taken. Your experience may be different.
If the mounting bolts are coming up on their own, or are loose, then a total disassembly is probably in order. You need to determine what the bedding structure is, is it fiberglass, is there wood in there, is there an aluminium plate in there, and depending on what's there, that will predict what the repair is.

You assume we know what you're talking about on your boat by looking at pictures of a boat under construction. I promise, I'm NOT trying to be smart here, but it would be MUCH better to have pictures of your boat that shows exactly what you're talking about. Show closeup views and show more of the cockpit so we can see it in context. And please proof what you write for spelling. It took me a while to realize that by palte you meant plate. I'm saying this in hopes that we can help you more. I have the same boat you have and still am not totally sure what you're talking about.
The wheel is on the screws...?The screws keep coming up, the topic keeps coming up or the boat is sitting higher in the water? Is it Wednesday yet?
Update. Spoke with the sailor. The screws holding the forward wheel cockpit deck plate (not the pedestal) are loose and not holding. Suggested next larger screw used and adding a few more for safety
