Broken piece where oil filter attaches

Broken piece where oil filter attaches
I was changing my oil today (2003 A6 2.7t) and noticed a piece that is broke where the oil filter attaches.
I searched the web and this site to see if I could find anyone with the same issue, but had no luck.
Does anyone know what this piece is for and if it is a big deal if it is broke/missing?
Thanks!

RE: Broken piece where oil filter attaches
I did an oil change on the weekend - the flange of the oil cooler looks the same as yours.
Is this as it supposed to be or we have a problem?
2.8 and 1.8T engines have different flange - with 9 holes for oil circulation.
There is only one open hole (at 3 o’clock - the left one (9 o’clock) is plugged by plastic.
Anybody having schematics or personal observations?
