Default 2015 GS 350 F Sport rotor screw ?

Quick question guys, as I was changing my brake pads yesterday, I noticed that I had no rotor screws to hold the rotor to the wheel hub (I know the wheel holds it also). Is there supposed to be 2 screws? I ask because I took my gs350 F Sport in for a tsb on the front brakes, but it didn't apply to the F Sport line, so I changed the pads myself, when I notied the rotor was loose as soon as I removed the pads. Any help wI'll be appreciated, before I rip a new ahole at the dealer for there techs being lazy....

Just an FYI. Those retainer screws are generally just for production so the car makes it down the line with the rotors attached before the wheels go on. Toyota used to leave them on, I guess they're taking them off now. It's good to not have them though. If you ever get one that's old and rusted solid you'll be cursing it.

Lol. I deal with them in my civic ek. I just take a ball hammer and a small sledge hammer to loosen the bolt.
But thanks for the info guys...
