Yes, it's 2x4 joists. It is close to the outside wall and another internal wall but the internal wall is just aluminium framing and I don't think it plays any structure role in it.

I am trying to understand what you proposed. Doing some research. Thanks.

First pic is the blocking, second is the board running over the blocking and joists with the bolt poking through the assembly.
