One rear foglight is standard. Front fogs are not part of the test.

One rear fog is normal, to distinguish fogs from brake lights.
Front fogs aren't a requirement of the MoT iirc, however may come under the 'if its fitted it has to work' premise, depending on how picky your tester is - some don't even check. If my awful memory is right, the early FL with 2-piece grille has two screws and a tab. Undo the screws and move the light inboard a little to unhook the tab and it comes out. The later single-piece grill version is three screws and no tab. |

IIRC, I'm pretty sure that there are 3 Torx screws, so that is probably what you're missing
