Missing bolt

I was looking through my engine bay bc ofcourse she's leaking oil (not related to the post) and I saw this threaded hole on head in the valley of the motor, definitely looks like something should be there but I've never noticed it before and figured it might be a accessorie hole or something, any info would be awsome

Is that the engine hoist bracket? If so, and you are missing one of the bolts, simply remove the existing bolt and match it and reinstall.
