I have a Homeline panel. I live in the United States. House was built in ~04.

There are two ground bars: one on the right, and one on the left. The one on the right you can see has some multi-strand copper fastened in its top lug.

But not the one on the left. All the individual copper strands are from individual circuits. I do not see a grounding strap between them. Is the left bar grounded through the panel? Is that okay?

This answer makes it sound like it's okay, but I'd like some confirmation for my case.

When installed per instructions with the provided (#8-32 self threading) screws the ground bar is considered bonded to the cabinet, which is bonded to the grounded neutral conductor by the green bonding screw in the top of the right side neutral bus.

It appears there is a redundant wire from a factory provided neutral lug between the hot line terminals to the ground bar on the right, it is ok to be there, but it is not required.
