Default Stock Steering Rack Question

On the passenger side of the steering rack, there is a band that goes around the rack and looks like it is what mounts it to the K-member. Is this band supposed to be spot welded to the rack? I'm thinking it should look like the top picture below, but mine looks like the bottom. I've got about 3 inches play each way from center and it looks like the whole steering rack is moving inside that band before actually moving the tie rods.

Mine is welded like in the top pic. If you look close you should be able to tell if it was welded and and if the welds broke.
