after playing around with my scoot for a few days the bolts that hold the kick and belt cover on dont fit tight any more now what do I do go up in size in bold or just make a band to go around the whole thing.

Do the bolt threads look worn and damaged? If they do try new bolts. If its the threads in the back casing thats worn you could try run a tap thro them it might work. Or try threadlock if theyre only a few loose ones. If not you prob need to drill out and retap to a larger size and use larger bolts.

They say "Heli-coils" are The Right Way (tm) to fix this.
The tools for installing them can be expensive, but once you have them you can fix any M6 thread you'll break in the future...

Stick a wooden toothpick in the hole , break it off flush with the opening and run your screws back in . It may work or not but it won't hurt anything . Good luck .
