Default Hood hinge 76 L-82 HELP

On the hood where the hinge is bolted to the front of the hood, the threaded insert fell into the channal that runs along the outer edge of the hood.

Does any one know how to retrieve this piece and how can I fix it?

How in the world did this happen!Oh well -take the hood off and shake it around using gravity until it come back to the right spot.It should have been riveted.Put bolts back in and tighten then drill and rivet
