The gold things are connectors and if they are missing then there isn't a relay meant to be there, and it's not just a matter of inserting the connectors, wiring would need to be added as well. Are you sure that it is the empty relay slots are for the Blower?

When you say your A/C isn't working, what exactly is not working? Fans? Not getting cold?
Is this a recent problem or has the A/C never worked?

That is an empty relay socket which I am pretty sure is not used on cars with climate control (stuff comes up on the screen type)
Someone probably just stuck that there as a spare.
There is a blower relay further over to the left which is for the A/C fan and there is also a fuse for the blower in that panel, check them first.

Yer the digital ac screen all works just don’t blow enythink ok I just thought that that was where the blower inhabit relay goes that’s what it showing on the fuse diagram thingo what does that relay actually do? Where do I put it if it don’t go there ? And yer the other relays have the gold things just not in the blower inhabit relay spot I’ll replace the blower motor then and see if that fix it if not my onley other guess it that blower inhabit relay

Like I said earlier, that relay slot is not used in cars with climate control, only used in cars with normal A/C (the ones without the digital screen)
The relay that is in that slot now is doing nothing, it's probably a spare that someone shoved in there in case the need one later for something.
Pull the blower fan out and connect it to 12 volts to see if it works. If it works your problem is elsewhere. Have you checked the fuse for the blower?

Oh, and just forget all about the blower inhibit relay, your car does not need one.
