Default Is this normal?

i can’t make out whether this hole behind my computer is normal or carved out by a po. My spidey sense tells me the plastic should be solid.

There is a blanking rubber plug that fits there. I can't remember which part but when fitted it is for either for the keyless ignition or alarm system.

Looks like your hole also got opened a bit more than originally sized
