Inner Fender attachment NOT correct?

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a factory attachment just want to verify before get it removed and area cleaned up.

I Think when the car was painted they just left it out of ease of removing and filling hole.

It’s on passenger side inner fender by the horns and washer bottle. I can’t find anything online that shows anything there.
