Interesting firewall

I am finishing up installing a full A-Pillar gauge setup, and the instructions tell me to remove the rubber firewall plug from the firewall and to put a hole in it. The problem is that there was no plastic plug. There was a piece of insulation (for sound?) that I had to remove, but under that I only found heat tape that was applied the inside of the engine compartment right were that gromet was supposed to be.

Has anyone else had this happen? Since I have now poked a hole in that heat tape, and dont have a rubber plug, what do I fill that hole with?
