Am I missing a piece of my control arm?

Had my car on a lift today and noticed an empty bolt hole in my passenger rear control arm. Is something supposed to go here?

The hole doesn't exist on the driver's side arm. However, they both share the same part number so maybe it's in the front of the driver's arm. I didn't notice when it was on the lift.

Hmm. I was watching a video of a guy showing the undercarriage of his m2. His doesn't have anything on the passnerger side either. However it seems like something is connected to that hole on the driver's side. Maybe a sensor to tell the height and load on the suspension for some reason??

If OP's car is LHD then passenger side is RHS hence no hardware only a hole....
