What situation are we dealing with? A cover might be intended for placement there, or perhaps it’s an optional vertical mount. If that’s the case, a standard PCI slot cover should suffice. If it’s simply a protective layer, you may need to contact the manufacturer to request one. If not, you could create your own from metal and use the existing screw hole for attachment. It’s essentially a simple cover—no elaborate design required. The main drawback is that painting it white will be challenging since white is a very hard color to match.

Occasionally, plastic components cut to size or 3D printed items work well enough. However, if you can obtain them at no cost, that’s ideal. Were they omitted from a fresh toolbox?
