Once those are cleaned up and bolted back into place... lifting the outside board and coming through the previously drilled ground post and board to form the lap joint... then the rest of the holes must be drilled. Trex sags from its weight, so a little lift is needed to straighten it out for the drilling, again coming through the ground posts into the board to accomodate subtle variations... we used a shovel to get the lift... one person can eye the edge from end to end while another lifts to just the right height and holds it while holes are drilled and bolts are pushed through.
