Found loose hardware on skid plate

So I was doing an oil change today, and I heard a rattle on the skid plate. So I tapped a little and could see a loose nut. I used a magnet to get it. Tapped on the skid plate and heard more rattling hardware. So I used an old hard drive magnet to find 2 more bolts. I didn't see anything immediately loose, but these may very well be crating hardware. Anyone else find loose hardware? Ill upload a picture later.

Found a bolt in the same location last week. Identical bolt as those used on the engine mounts and other areas in the engine compartment but none were missing...? I had the upgraded sway bar installed when I bought it, figured maybe a part they dropped when removing the factory one. Anyways, dropped it off at dealer this weekend so they can figure it out.

Update: Got it back from dealer yesterday and they couldn’t find where the bolt came from either! I hope this is a one time occurrence...

When I was doing the Swaybar install I found a nut I didn't remove. Hard to tell but nothing seems out of place. It was down on the frame in front by the skid plate. Silver looking nut.

Yea, I am thinking that they where assembly bolts.
