I am about to do my final fit and install of my Atlas 4 speed and noticed that a bolt is missing on the planetary shifter housing. I can see that there was likely one there since there is a blue sealant witness mark. I can’t find a diagram or rebuild info for the planetary box, so can’t tell if the missing bolt is just a plug or has another function like detent spring/ball stuff.

It’s to the left of the large brass plug on the side.

Can I just seal a cap screw in there?
 
My old 4 speed is the same way. I never noticed any leaking from it and I never plugged it
 
The answer is that there is an Allen grub screw way in there plugging the hole. I couldn’t really see it, but can feel it with a tool.
AA confirmed.
