The Replacement Rubber Bumper for Reese Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # 30536, attaches to the head with a screw that gets pressed down through the top of it and then is attached on the underside of the head with a nut.

I have provided links to the installation instructions for this item as well as a video showing how it is put together. You can see the installation of the bumpers at the 1:35 minute mark of the video.

If you needed the screw and nut you could get a Replacement Fifth Wheel Bumper Installation Kit for Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese, part # 58089.
