Default Outside Rear CV Boot

When doing the alignment on the car, the tech noticed that there was not a Outer CV boot strap on the rear drivers side wheel. So I tried 2 times to clamp it down and it just popped off as soon as I moved the car . After a few beers and a second set of eyes looked at it we discovered the following (see pix). There is a metal stub (about the size of the end of my pinky finger) that is cut in half on the passenger side, but not the drivers side. Because of this the boot cannot lock in place and the strap does not stay on.

First need to know....is this modified at the factory so the boot strap fits around it? Also what is the best way to whittle it down to look like the passenger side (Dremel, .....)
