R1200S rear shock mount question

I've been servicing my new to me (second time around) R1200S and have found a slight issue.
I have the rear shock off and have noticed the upper frame shock mount
has a larger diameter mount hole on one side. The bolt that was in there is not shouldered on one side, so either I have the wrong bolt or for some reason there is supposed to be a bushing in there.
I've looked at the parts fiche and it doesn't specify anything other than a m10 x1.25x55. It also
doesn't show a bushing?
Ideas??
Thanks Steve

Is it an Ohlins shock? I've just had mine serviced and certain there was a bush in either side - it was a tight fit (please no wim away jokes!!!) and I couldn't push them out. If it's an Ohlins shock you should be able to get the part. I'll have a good look at mine later

Thanks for the reply. It was my inattention during removal. Evidently the allen head bolt fits neatly into the larger side of the shock mount tab! guess I need to slow down a bit.
Cheers, Steve
