I believe that gold fitting is the pressed in receiver for one of the thru-cabinet bolts that would come in from above. Take a paperclip and unbend it and insert from the bottom there and see if it inserts through until it hits the cabinet.

Also, whats the model number on that particular microwave, search for the install manual online and see what other mount options might exist.

that fitting was literally just a hole! I poked an allen wrench through it and it just hit the cabinet. We solved the issue- see edit above
