Help - Missing bolts on charge-air cooler sealing plate

Folks, I heard some rattling going on in my engine area and noticed the charge-air cooler sealing plate was missing the two top bolts. Here is a picture of the engine and bolts.

They are the silver bolts on the top left and right of the charge-air cooler sealing plate. They appear to be torx bolts. Any help would be appreciated and I'll keep you updated if I find anything more.

Thanks!

Wonderful resource. I will use this from now on. Quick question...there are two torx bolts. Should I assume the longer one goes on the top and the smaller one goes on the bottom? Just curious.

Part number 17-51-7-552-372 M6X60 Torx Bolts are the ones for the rear of the engine.
Part number 17-51-7-552-373 M6X18 Torx Bolts are the ones for the front of the engine.

Thanks goes to Mini Mania for having a BETTER diagram than the RealOEM one.
