From what I remember the two holes are for screws used to secure the plates to the dash rail ends. Looking at the photo there is some glue remaining on the plate so probably no screws were used, I can only suggest they are glued back unless you want to remove the rail and do it properly. This has the risk of damage to the A piller wood and can be a pain undoing the rail nuts and refitting ensuring the spacers are in place.
As someone said before, the holes are for screws. If they fell off, most probably the wood has rotten away, so unless you want to dismatale the dash, I suggest you use some form of sealer such as acrilic (or silicone) which will definaely hold the cap in place but which can be easily removed.
