Windscreen washer jets. WITH PICTURE

New to me x5 LCI, blocked washer jets,
I noticed water firing out the side of the bonnet..

On inspection, it's like on the last nozzle (passenger side), there's a male hose connector on the right side of the nozzle as you look at it with the bonnet up, where I'd expect an elbow. The barbed end of the connector looked cleaner than the other elements so looks like there was a pipe or end cap there that's been blown off.?

Can anyone please tell me if it should be a hose connected to this or a cap. If it's a hose, there does it go?

Thanks.

I can see the picture, not sure why you can't :(

I don't think anything is supposed to be attached to the open nozzel shown, I think it is blanked off inside the jet unit. When you use the washers does anything come out of the open end?

Sorted, I bought some 4mm id hose from Halfords for £3 (theres 2.9m left!), tied a knot in it and pushed that on. Guess it was blanked off but its shot off.
For info, water just shot out the end of the hose fitting prior to adding the knotted tube.
