Cut off 2" on my front frame, water intrusion

Two days ago we cut 2" off my frame to prepare for a stubby bumper. In doing so we never covered the hole at the top of the frame that was drilled at the factory to install the plastic "shelf" that sits between the stock bumper and the grill.

All day yesterday it rained. Not only did water enter the frame portion we cut into but also in that hole on each end of the frame that the shelf mounted to.

Does that water have a place to escape out of?
I know the middle of the frame under the doors has holes in it for water and mud to escape. But I am not seeing if there is a place for the water that entered the front of the frame to escape out of.

It may be that the frame is hollow from front all the way to the back in which case I won't worry about it.
