Default Coolant expansion tank plug

I’ve replaced the coolant expansion tank on my 2004 530i. Is there meant to be plug where I’ve circled it in the photo? If so what can I use to block it up? I’ve thrown out the old expansion tank and didn’t notice a plug on it

You were probably supposed to transfer the blind plug over from the old tank. Just order a new one, I believe it's p/n 11531436850.
