The battery hold-down consists of one bolt, and a composite material wedge for the battery tray.

There's a pic of it in the link below.

This hold down goes in front of the battery at the base/bottom (towards the front of the car).

It was missing completely? Make sure the bolt is not broken off in the bolt-hole. I've seen that before.
