Icon2 Possible bolt missing from mount?? w/PICS

I was getting ready to do a transmission fluid change on my car when I noticed that there might be a missing bolt on the passenger side mount where the frame is connected to the top of the transmission(Yellow circle). I also noticed another bolt that looked like it wasn't fitted on well(Green circle). The vehicle is a 94 hatchback with a b18b1 94-01 motor. I bought the car like this and the previous owner didn't have much knowledge on the car. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Looks like you are correct, it also looks like the one that goes through the mount sideways (basically where you have the arrow for the "front bumper") is broken off. The bolt should be going in the other direction (compared to the arrow). It looks like it broke and they left the threads in the nut that is welded to the frame and then put another bolt in going the opposite direction. See my attached picture.

Okay, so should I just leave it alone? As far as driving the car, it runs perfectly. I switched sensors, thermostat, radiator, and distributor. I do notice some high speed vibrations in the steering wheel but other than that I would say the car drives really smooth. also the motor has about 70k and the chassis 170k if that helps. Thanks for your response. I completely missed the other bolt that you mentioned!

If it were my car, I'd fix all of that asap.
