Default Bolt fell out please help CBR300R

Hi all. So I was pushing my bike backwards from a parking bay and a bolt fell out. It was laying kinda where the sump bolt is but on the ground. What I’m worried about is it is an engine mount bolt? I was told it could be a bolt that screws the plastics to the frame but it’s about 5mm thick which seems excessive to be a screw to mount plastics. I’ve attached pics of it. If anyone can please assist I’d be so appreciative. Thank you

Top of the bolt kinda has an imagine on that resemble on/off (l/0)

Ohh, that is certainly not a fairing mounting bolt, could be the central exhaust bolt no. 22 on this picture:

Have a look around the diagrammes to see if you can spot it.
Not sure what year you have, but you can select it.

If you measure the bolt, you can compare such as:

Looking at the lengths on the diagram it looks to be 10 as it’s a long bolt. I’m struggling to see if it is though without taking the fairings off. I’m kinda new to this all so i have zero knowledge

You should be able to see the linkage looking behind the rear wheel above the swing arm without needing to take the fairing off.

Out of interest would this be on the right hand side of the bike when sitting on it? I have a feeling it’s been loose for a while. My son climbed on my bike today and it fell on the right side. Right after that when I reversed the bike is when the bolt came out. So I figure it having fallen on the right side allowed it to slip out. Thing is I don’t think it came from higher up in the motor as when I heard it fall I just heard it hit the ground. Not other clanging on the way down.

Yes the bolt would come out the right hand side of the bike, I'm pretty certain it is the linkage bolt and would not necessarily clang on its way out if already loose and just fell as you lifted the bike. Get in with a torch and you should be able to see where it is missing from.
