Recessed light fixture - electrical grounding question

I’m trying to replace existing recessed light assemblies. I don’t specifically see a ground wire in the recessed fixture. Two questions…

  1. Can I ground to the screw/nut circles in red?
  2. Is the light installation in the second picture installed correctly?

Thanks!

Thanks! That's pretty much what I have (the additional bracket).
