what is going on with the skid plate next to my transfer case?

[fordsucks!]

Let me know if something is wrong under here. There is a skid plate under my car, next to the transfer case. Seems unusual that it's not really protecting anything as far as I can tell, is this supposed to be under the transfer case?

Lol yes that is on the wrong side. Crossmember is probably backward too.
