Thanks for the photos, Muhammad!
What you have is the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # Y02458, and it's the silver adapter piece that will go into your hitch receiver.
With that being said, it also looks like you're missing a few pieces; the SpeedKnob and Wedge Assembly # 8880508 along with the 2" Shank Adapter # 8880612 which includes a few of the silver parts that you're missing.
I'm attaching a video where Evangeline shows how to use the bike rack so you can get a good idea of how everything is supposed to install and operate.
