Cassette onto new wheel - should I have more parts?

Hi all
I've bought a new wheel and cassette (it's a spare for going on a turbo).
I think I need another bit... but am I just being daft? My existing wheel has extra bolts on it.

Don’t think so.
Your new cassette should just go straight onto the freehub which is under the white stuff on the 3rd pic.
Just make sure whether you need a spacer or not first.
I’m guessing as the cassette is brand new it comes with a lockring although it’s not immediately obvious from the pic.0 -
Where are the extra bolts on the existing wheel?0

Thanks, I appreciate this is basic stuff so I'm grateful for your patience.
I tinkered then came back and was reassured I'd sussed it out correctly.
My last issue now is, cog 2 moves, and I don't think it should. Not much, but it juggles if you touch it.
The biggest 7 cogs are one piece, the last two are loose single units. When I tighten the ring the second smallest continues to jiggle, presumably it shouldn't! (?)

No it shouldn’t move but you can’t have put it on wrong as it will only go on 1 way.
Tighten down the lockring & see if it still does.0 -
I think from the image that's a 9 speed cassette. If that's a relatively new wheel which supports 11 speed cassettes, you'll need a spacer behind it to take up the space and allow the locking to tighten.1

What akh said sounds right. I think the last 2 are the right way round, just check the gap between each cog is the same.0
