The holes are molded into the bumper itself. You don't "make" any new holes. You can even see one of the holes you're meant to send a rivet through to attach the side of the bracket in your photo. The other one comes down for the top of the bracket, near where the pop clip is on the photo.
Regardless of what happened, your car doesn't have the bracket.
-- That bracket is something that is often neglected when replacing the bumper, especially if a new replacement was needed and the shop isn't familiar with the car. The brackets don't come pre-installed on a replacement bumper: the brackets and rivets need to be ordered and installed separately. It's not typical for shops to remove them if they don't have to either.
@ gkubed already listed all the parts you need (1x passenger bracket, 2x rivets). You should probably check your driver side as well, and order the driver bracket and additional rivets as well if needed.
See this old DIY guide. It shows how the sidemarkers are retained from the factory, some images of the bracket, and how you're supposed to interact with them. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15560 . Zip ties are not the factory retention method. The sidemarker metal tab snaps into the bracket
