Is yours different?

Dave,
The plastic strips down each side of the groove overlap the groove on each side by a little bit. The head of the bolt with a washer rides inside this groove and above the plastic strips. This strips basically trap the head of the bolt and centers the bolt head and shaft in the middle of the groove. This is to prevent the bolt head from wearing against the wood sides of the groove.
If your plastic strips don't extend a bit over the groove, it is possible that at some point they were changed.
LOL...that made my head hurt...I hope you understand what I was trying to convey. Thanks for the question!
