Howard, OK, so you have all your maintenance. Good, make sure it is all received. Now, go to IBMLINK, and pull the PSP bucket( term for a document that lists required maintenance) for that device type. In it, it will have a list of all the required PTF's for that hardware. Take that list, and build your SMPE apply(check) with that list. Set it for GROUPEXTEND(YES), this should pick up the missing sysmods(assuming they were ordered) and see what happens. The PSP bucket is the 'bible' so to speak for anything related to that device. Regarding service for all your software, you can run a SMPE maintenance utility that will create a binary file of all your products/maintenance, and upload that to the ShopZseries site. Once done, then you can order all maintenance for all products based on your current environment.
-or- Take the scatter gun effect, and apply all the maintenance you received and hope that you have ordered everything you needed. If it were me, I'd take the first route.
