Default Passenger seat mount coming loose

I only have 2 of the 6 screws still holding it in and its getting really loose and wobbly. Can I just roatate a little bit and drill and remount? Sorry for the dumb question I just dont want to start driving screws in the floor if I'm not supposed to.

Thanks

    Yes. There is a 12" x 12" aluminum plate underneath the floor for the seat mount. You could also drill the existing holes slightly larger & tap new threads.
