strut bar bolt broke

agggggggg, so i bought a new tool kit recently, and while looking under the hood i see the nut that hold down the strut brace look a tad weird i find a socket that fits but before i even attached the rachet it falls off. Guess it got over torqued at one time.

anyone know where i can get a replacement of what ever this round bracket is called
