Vectra driveshaft plate. - prm

I had my gearbox oil level checked yesterday, and instead of unscrewing the check plug the mechanic (cough) started unscrewing one of the bolts on the plate thats attached to the gearbox where the drive shaft enters. What is this plate for, and what is it attached to? and will it be ok as long as he tightened it back up again? Thanks in advance.
