Is there a “bond” going to the box from the two busses?

That would serve as the same as a wire between

I removed the jumper bar and tightend all the connections. There were a few that were loose.

After removing the jumper from neutral bar to ground bar you need to bond the ground bar to the panel. Using the bond jumper from the right side of the panel. Looks like it is just holding the neutral wire to back of panel.

Is there a special connector I need to get? Why is it located on the opposite side of the ground bar?

No. Use the item I have circled. It can be used on either side of the panel. But the ground wires are in the bar on the left and neutrals on the right. The panel box needs to be grounded. Use the jumper (circled) to do this.

So your saying I have to ground the ground bar to the panel.

Yes, the ground bar needs to be bonded to the panel.
Neutral bar isolated from the panel.

That is a very good catch there sir!
I don't notice a #6 solid bare conductor going to two ground rods from the ground bus, ground rods need to be 6' apart. If this is done, I Just didn't see it in the picture.

It is obvious that it's not a professional install but, this should have been done even if it was neutral to ground connected.
