Look at the side member section there are some hole plugs shown, although that part pictured looks off to me what secures it and what does it do?

That bracket is an anchor point for shipping a new vehicle. The plastic plug is probably to reduce noise (whistling) while driving.

Edit: Yours is a different plug, the one I suggested is on the lower "frame rail" close to the pinch welds.
