Missing screws or NOT?

Was putting in second battery and noticed the front lower cap is not attached to the frame. There are holes in the frame, but no screws. I was wondering if that's the way it's supposed to be or did they forget.

Screw holes are on the other side of these arrows.

These arrows point to actual screw holes.

YIKES, I looked at ours, and we have screws. But, we also have a generator there. I think the screws are about 1" and self-tapping. I'd hate to have it flapping in the breeze on the highway.

I just put in a bunch of screws into mine. #8 is what is used. I had the whole front moving 1/4 inch. Just remove the screw cover strip that covers the screws and put more in. The vertical part of the front only had 5 screws in where there was room for 12 on each side. Economy?? or sloppy workmanship??

Thanks, would like to hear from the factory on it. Was wondering if they left the screws out to allow movement.
