the pulsation dampener is not a fuel pressure regulator, it absorbs pulsations caused by the injectors opening/closing. the pressure regulator is at the end of the system(it also absorbs pulsations).

I just looked at my FPD and mine is at the top rail (I guess because I have a japanese motor swap) and the cover was missing already and the screw is not in there, would this cause a running issue at all?

Exactly. I am banjo bolted along with thousands of others with no problems. Or you can remember to replace the dampener every few years.

I went to every gosh darn place in town and half the people didn't even know what I was talking about and the others that did said they don't carry the m12x1.25 banjo bolt I need, guess I'll have to try and order one online.

Banzai racing has them in the right size. You could also try a plumbers supply place. I happened to have one right by my job and they had the stuff or could order it.
