New breaker panel. Where is the ground neutral bond?

It should be.

I was obliquely referring to the fact that HOM does not have tandem AFCI and if you lengthened the circuits enough you would have “had to” replace to AFCI.
Oh! Well, good thing this is a replacement to a previous. I actually shortened the wires because this thing is so tall!
So thats not lengthened!
 
Well it fit with some convincing. The photo made me think it was an official product. And the breaker brand matched the panel.
If it made a good connection, it's probably fine.
Just wouldn't meet code.
I have been known to make modifications. But you better know what you are doing. Because you are taking all of the liability into your own hands.
And I'm not ready for retirement or bankruptcy.
 
Homeline panel, homeline tandem breakers. Panel says 30/60 circuits so that means to me that EVERY circuit can be a tandem right??
Or am I bat chit crazy?

My homeline panel takes tandem breakers. The lower half takes tandem breaker and the top half is singles. The numbers are embossed into the metal and the paper label shows double lines for labels
 
Now I always check to see if everything’s in there before I leave the store. The one time I didn’t and it was missing those special double lead panels screws.
 
The lack of a bonding screw in every panel might be a new thing for cost savings.
Without a main breaker that panel is no longer rated for use as service equipment since the changes to 230.71 requiring that multiple service disconnects be in multiple enclosures.
Perhaps they can save a bit on parts by only shipping the bonding screws with panels that have a main breaker and with the main breaker upgrade kits.
Or perhaps it just got left out.
