Car: 2009 Altima 2.5SL

Recently I got the rotors resurfaced and brake pads changed in my 2009 Altima 2.5 SL from Raleigh Tire. Just after the job was done, I test drove the car and it drove well with adequate braking power. After a few days, I was checking the tire pressures when I found something protruding out from the brake caliper of the driver side front wheel. Fortunately, that part is not touching the rim yet, so the wheel is rotating smoothly and I never came to know about it until I accidentally noticed while checking tire pressure. The passenger side front wheel/brake is fine. Below I have included pictures of both sides.

Nobody has touched the car since the brake job. It has only been driven (very sanely) and it is driving and braking well. It seems a pin is missing and I suspect the Raleigh Tire mechanic messed this up when working on the brakes. Is it possible to purchase only the pin and fix this or do I need to change the entire caliper? Any other suggestion is most welcome. Thanks in advance.
