Default Radiator Leaking

Ok a few days ago my raditator starting leaking from what I thought was the drain plug, well I just bought a new one from autozone. What was on there before didnt look like it came stock so I have this black screw in piece from autozone. Turns out it doesn't work. This black screw in piece from autozone goes in on the other side of the radiator, the RIGHT side on the LEFT side there is this kind of short tube as well but it is smaller.

I know this is prolly hard to comprehend but I should have pics up soon. In the meantime if ANYONE could take a picture of their Left side of their radiator from below that would greatly help me so I Know what I need to buy.

As you can see on the right side there is that black screw on type drain plug and on the left there is some bronze looking thing? I dont know if this picture is of my year STOCK radiator but everything looks the same except I dont have that bronze part I have a short smaller black tube
