Is there a bolt doctor in the house? Or index wizard?

New to me 1998 Pathfinder 3.3L 4x4 SE, 164,000 miles. Used motor swapped.

I had a mechanic swap the motor and one of his helpers misplaced a few items. Is there a known fastener reference for Nissans anywhere?

This bolt (custom hold lol) was found laying inside the motor bay. Nothing near it holds this size that I have seen. I have found other missing or loose bolts but not where this one goes. The measurements are:

M10 shaft x 1.5 thread, 14mm socket head, 4-7/8" (124mm) complete length (with head), 4-3/8" (111mm) shaft length.

What places would use this bolt on/around the motor? Or is there a bolt guide I don't know of yet that might help me?

Thanks if you can assist!

It's not the main alt bolt. I didn't see a bracket bolt missing either. But will double check with mirror.

Lol, I'm pretty good with seeing unused holes. Maybe it's an extra lol. But probably a hiding void mixed with my unfamiliarity with these
