Noticed the passenger side, upper bracket that mounts the upper fan shroud to the radiator is broken. The remaining 3 bolts are still in tact.

Is that a concern, as in should I drill a hole somewhere to strap that corner down with zip ties or will the 3 other screws + the lip it hangs on be enough?

Not sure if that fan is strong enough to suck in that corner or somethin...

Fairly common.
Don't worry too much about it.

Should be fine - A ziptie wouldn't hurt, but if the other 3 mounts are intact, it's not going anywhere.
