Mounting bracket

Can any one tell me what is supposed to be in this mounting bracket? This is on the fire wall on the passanger side. I don't see anything in the area that looks like it would go there.
Thanks

A flux capacitor

On some models there's a whole bunch of electrical connectors that meet at that point.

Mercedes had spare parts they needed to use and just stuck it there to confuse the people who work on their own cars.

mine's empty on top too. Perhaps that's a spot for some other connector, such as a pump for headlight washers on certain models.

They seem to have done that a lot. I think someone at MB has a very warped sense of humor.
