Hmmmm..... this is good info.
Couple questions:
1. is the green cam plug the same plug used on the OTHER end of the intake cam? The missing plug is the one above the scavenge pump on the left side. I don't see more than one cam plug listed on pelican.

2. Are you suggesting that this is a wet plug? That if it's removed there would be oil leaking? Because there is no sign of oil around the crooked plugs, nor is there any sign of it around the hole that seems to be missing the plug altogether.
