Guys, there's nothing wrong.
He's trying to get us to pay him more to tell us.
As soon as we offer him $45 to tell us, he'll say "Concealer404" upped the bid to $50.
Is it something that's IN the pic, or missing from the pic?
I will say its not that something is missing, its in the pic for sure. Plainly visible in fact.

It's fun though, isn't it?
This is an emissions test. If it does not or cannot effect emissions, they can't fail you on it. It also failed a visual inspection. There are no codes and no mechanical faults, car runs like a top.
Ok, here is a pic of the issue from another angle:
You guys are going to ******* hate me when we finally figure this out
