Default Engine ground cable?

so i was looking around in my engine bay yesterday and i noticed that my engine doesnt have the ground from the valve cover to the chassis.

now im gonna go add one, but it also doesnt have the bolt/hole that the ground is supposed to go too. Unless the guy who painted teh VC blue cover that hole.

anyways, could not having this ground cause any issues ? the car runs fine, and i do plan on adding one, im just curious

i had bad ground connections on my beater and i went to all 8 gauge OFC with the gold plated connector jammy's and the heat shrink...nice and clean. changed out the starter cable for 8 gauge and main battery cables to 4 gauge with all new GP'd battery terminals....seemed to run just a little bit better
