Lose the bottom manifold bracket. Not needed and trash the casing. If you insist on keeping it loose the bolt and fit a stud and a nut. Fitting the stud through the bracket and screwing home then fit the nut. If you don’t, expect to lose some threads.

 

Do you mean this bracket.

Personally I wouldn't bolt the strap to a single bolt on the casing.

Either use bracket GEX7526 which picks up on two bolts or bracket GEX7088 (if you can find one) which picks up on three bolts.
