Hello,
Your only chance is reaching out to the Dell parts department. If you don`t have the bracket , you also don`t have the power cable for the SSD/HDD/ODD.
Look at this topic, it will include all the Dell part number you need and also inclodes some workarounds for mounting and connecting devices.

I have the same problem with a Dell ECT1250 missing the drive bay. Prior to making my purchase, I confirmed with the Dell Virtual Assistant that the ECT1250 came with the hardware & cables for an HDD. I even have a transcript showing that the ECT1250 is supposed to come with the necessary hardware & cable for connecting an HDD. Unfortunately, the computer showed up without either. Dell said they would issue a credit, but I would rather have the drive bay and cable
