THESE 2 BUMPS ARE CALLED MANDIBULAR TORI.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE THESE AND IT'S NORMAL. THEY ARE BONY OUTGROWTHS.
THESE ARE NOT GLANDS WHICH ARE INVISIBLE AND ARE SOFT. THESE ARE BELOW THE TONGUE AND ARE SOFT TO THE TOUCH.

I'm not real sure what your question is. Everyone has sublingual glands, which are a type of salivary glands. They are located under your tongue, which is why they are called sublingual. They are activated to produce saliva when you chew. As for the 2 bumps on your bottom gums, they probably are wisdom teeth, and if they don't hurt, be thankful! Perhaps you will be one of those rare people whose wisdom teeth will come in properly with no problems.

Where are the two bumps on your bottom gums? If they are behind your last set of molars, those are the retromolar pads, not glands. If the bumps are next to your tongue, by the premolar/canine area, those might be lingual tori. The salivary glands aren't hard, they are soft masses. If they have caused you pain, changed in size or have become firm, you may need to see a dentist to determine if there is something wrong.

From your description I tend to agree with "offline 2"--these are likely ligual tori.
Go to google images and try "torus mandibularis" and see if it fits the bill.
