Believe that is the locating dowel.

Look on the lower half cover of your bellhousing for a third hole between the bolt holes. The engines should have a dowel pin which fits in the center cover hole and locates the cover properly relative to the upper half. Make sure the holes are clean and no burrs on the hole or dowel end.

The dowel pin is pressed in the upper half. If the pins and cover holes do not fit or line up perfectly and if cover is not exactly straight and going up evenly on both sides so the pins are started in the holes, when the cover bolts are tightened if the pins don't slide into the holes they can get pushed up and may be what you are seeing.
