Default 3VZ-FE missing engine mounting stay???

I think I'm missing the RH Engine mounting stay (I guess it would be #1, but is just referred to as RH engine mounting stay).... No 2 & 3 are there...

When I was putting everything back together I noticed the step which said to reinstall RH engine mounting stay and the picture... I've got a bolt hole with nothing to bolt into it... It's been like this since I got the car, I just didn't think anything of it until I went thru this job and read the step during putting it all back together.....

I've included picture I took of where I think the RH engine mounting stay should be, with the points it seems like it would bolt too circled in red.... (I've tightened the hose clip in the pic since it was taken) The relevant picture from the FSM also included with the mounting points for the stay circled in red...

Also wondering if there is normally something bolted to the empty hole with the green ? by it...

if it is missing, you can live without it.

it's sole function is to eliminate harsh/jolting movements when the car changes gear.

Yeah I figured it's not a major like if an engine mount was missing..... I just wondered if it was actually missing or if they left that stay off Windom variants, or if the FSM has an erroneous step in it...

If it's missing I'll just grab it next time the local pick a part gets a VCV10 Windom / ES300
