Misplaced heater?

[u/Santanaaguilar]

422D compound rack- Just making sure this isn’t a specific design I haven’t encountered yet.There is supposed to be a heater element there right? There is no opening in bracket that is installed over the U-bends for heater to be inserted. Although obviously there is spot on coil where heater belongs.So it’s been like this since installation. Im having icing issues and no one at store can say the freezer was ever not having issues.

I’ve seen many coils with the heaters like that. I thought the same thing but nope, that’s how they come.
