Default some thing is missing

I purchased a used 2006 c6 for what I believe is a decent price. I know the skid plate/lower radiator mount is cracked and needs to de replaced as well as the ds lower fender extension . The wheel well liners are there the brake ducts are there the rubber air dam is there. The lower grill is there, looks like the fascia extension is there
As I look under the car I noticed the two indents next to the skid bars are missing the screws . Upon further inspection I can not see what they attach to ? The lower radiator air duct is there but I'm missing something, the 2 10mm nuts are still attached to the broken radiator cradle and bumper..

Im not sure whats missing or broken off ?

Can't answer without looking but I aleady had a couple of whiskeys.

Make sure your replacement radiator support comes with those RIVNUTS (captive threaded inserts), which you want to come included and what the air dam attaches to. Some don't have them.

Sometimes pictures can help what you are explaining?

It looks as if some one has had the bumper off and has not attached it correctly. I found this picture on line , from another members post . I see no hole or nutsert or anything this attaches to. as I look up under the car it appears something was assembled incorrectly.

I just replaced the radiator support on my C6 and if I recall those holes are for screws that go into clips that hold the front wings of the air dam in place. the screws are the same as the 3 between those in the bottom of the bumper
