It'll be an inspection process to see if the bolts are there and properly torqued. Hopefully, the process has been fixed at Boeing, and they won't find any more problems. I'm surprised, if the bolts were not installed, it lasted 145 flights.
Apparently putting a MAX together is like putting the shelves together from IKEA and afterwards having about 8 bolts left over.
