Part number for the bracket/carrier that holds the expasion tank in place

Hi all! Can anyone here tell me the part number for the part that hold the expansion tank? My X is 2004 made 4.8is. I am going to replace my expansion tank/coolant tank, I found that the bracket/carrier that holds the tank is a bit loose on the inner side without a screw to fix it. Is it normal or one screw is missing? Thanks for help!

3 screws total on the bracket to the car on mine. All of the screws pass through rubber type mounts.

Thanks for reply! How about the other side that opposes to the 3 screwed side? Is there a screw or something else to fix the bracket to the car? Or it is loose, nothing fix that side so that you can easily lift the side a bit?

Can you take a pic. I have a hard time understanding. The fourth side has a slide in mount type if thing. Yes you can move it, but only a little without taking the other 3 screws out.

Here is a pic from another car, in the yellow circle, should there be a rubber buffer or something to fix the end?

The right pic is the closer shot of the left pic. Is it normal or something disappeared?

Yup, I have a rubber mount type of thing that sits in the little box. That supports the opposite end from the screws.

That's the way its supposed to be. It just sits there without a screw/bolt. Maybe you're missing the rubber piece?

Thanks for reply! Yes, I think I lose the rubber piece in my car. Does anyone here know the part number for the rubber piece? or I have to replace the whole bracket? I cannot find the part for the rubber piece or the whole bracket in realoem.com, can someone help please?

I just spent 30 min looking for it on realOEM without any luck. I can't find the bracket on that site. I'll check my car tomorrow to see if it has a part number on it.
