picking up a mk1 this week, one thing i noticed was one of the screws holding the front indicator/side light unit was loose and not screwing into anything, i could see a hole in the metal behind, does something go into the metal hole for the screw to grip?

Brain has drawn a blank as to the name of it but it looks like a thin strip of metal bent in half with a hole drilled through it that then pushes on to where you can see the hole in the front wing ,the screw then fixes into that.
