Expansion tanks

Hi all,
I have a 2021 Bad Boy Maverick 60" w/kawasaki.. ZT3200 hydros... 45hrs, gearing up to replace the hydro fluid. Watched videos online. But here is my dilemma, I do not have expansion tanks. Manual says to fill it up at the fill plug. I want to add tanks so I can keep an eye on the fluid level.... I have all the part numbers to put it together. I just want to verify where the threaded fitting goes into the hydro gear(s). I found a weird looking bolt type deal next to the drain plug wondering if this is where it goes, maybe someone can confirm
 
Here a pic I took of the fill plug and where I think the expansion tank adapter would go

Here's the hook up, watch 1st you tube, for your hydros. : https://www.hydro-gear.com/oil/
 
Now if that is indeed a vent then that where you need to connect the tanks as otherwise you would oil over flowing. I was going by the IPL which doesn't show the vent plug.

I do however recently became a HG service center and definitely got some learning to do but have already ordered those vents per their SB about the new version. I thought it was only in reference to the EZT units.

Look on page 12 of the service manual.
