The toilet flange may be broken. The bolts slip into a keyhole slot

I wonder if he could get a stainless steel flange?

If ever there was a thread where the expression "gilding a turd" applied
this is the one!

I've never had a problem with brass/bronze toilet hold down bolts
themselves. Over the years most of my angst over toilet hold downs has
been caused by cheap thin steel toilet flanges. If there's any moisture
around, even that caused by washing the floor around a toilet that's not
bedded on plumbers putty, the steel disappears from galvanic corrrosion
where it's in contact with the brass bolts, and the heads of those bolts
pull right through it.
