You certainly know now is the time to do it right, and make a forever fix, not a patch or bodge.

Yeah, this is not that easy actually, I wish it was. The hole is too deep and too narrow to get either my MIG or TIG torches inside there.
I could cut off the bracket. Then fill the hole in the plate portion, and then fill the hole in the bracket portion, then re-attach everything.
Right now I'm sitting back weighing everyone's inputs! I have the mounts and some bolts on order and tomorrow morning I will step into the garage and do some more assessing.
