Am I missing a couple of screws, or do I just have extra holes?

2021 Defender XT HD8. I've had the Defender about a week now and this morning while installing a set of fender flares, noticed this unfilled screw hole on the B pillar. Actually, it's the same on both the driver and passenger side. It seems like there should be a screw there as the plastic trim is a bit floppy.

 Is this a case of missing screws, design choice, or did someone at the factory forget to install them? Any idea what screw would fit the hole?

Thanks for looking.

You're missing bolts/screws.

Probably missed by the dealer when doing final assembly. I believe all models except cabbed models arrive without the cages installed (basically nothing attached above the level of the dashboard).
