Default Missing screw in the engine bay

It’s. 2021 is300
Not sure if you can see in the pic but it looks like I’m missing a screw, on the right side of the engine bay when looking at it from the front, just right of where the engine oil goes in, it’s a 2021 Is300 AWD,  not sure how this could have happened. Thanks for looking,

Don’t have your car, but you’ll find those on probably most engine blocks. Got to have a place to attach the hoist used to place the engine into the car during assembly. So you’ll find a few more of those if you look around (some might be hidden by other components added later).

. IT looks so small to lift an engine but I guess if there is a bunch of them, I usually bring my car to Toyota because it’s so close to the house but decided to make an appointment with Lexus for an oil change in a few weeks and will ask the mechanic, also give me a chance to look at the 2026 but I doubt with the front bumper I’ll get too excited.
