Dropped a bolt in my engine!

In my quest to be a NISMO purist I did a boo-boo. What an idiot! I bought the NISMO Grounding Kit from my dealer (ended up being made by Sun Automobile) and unlike Z327's kit it didn't come with bolts to connect with at two spots. I was fishing through my bucket and found a bolt and when I went to try it out towards the back of the plenum, it fell. I heard a few tinks and said crap! The bold didn't land on the ground. I have been under and in my engine compartment for two hours with drop lights and a magnet. Since it fell in the back and not the front where all the belts are what damage could it do? I have spent so much time with drop lights, flashlights, mirror, magnet that I am convinced it somehow made it's way in between the heatshield of the exhaust manifold.

I am pretty confident it won't do any damage; however, I was just telling my wife how its more upsetting then anything because I am **** retentive.
On a side note, my NISMO catback looks and sounds awesome.
