Timing Cover Bolt Confusion

Timing Cover Bolt Confusion
So I replaced the timing cover (again) and I was reading the rave upon reassembly and confused myself. First, it said that 9 bolts secured the cover to the block. I only counted 8 that went though the cover to secure to the block. What it called #9 was one of the water pump bolts that didn't go through.
Then I found one opening that I can't remember what went there.
Also I didn't put these bolts in with loctite. Would it mess the gasket up if I remove one at a time to apply loctite and then torque back?

There are 9 bolts that go through to block. They have a larger head size and a couple of them go through water pump into block. I don't see why you need lock thread? Picture in rave is off. The hole with ? Goes through to block. The right most two holes in pump go to block if I remember correctly. And 1 more left lower area

Ok, well given the previous modification to the front cover, I'm wondering if they put the bracket on a different bolt. I'm not sure where this *should* be bolted up to.
I found the original dissaembly picture. Does this look correct or no?
