I got my water pump replaced, but when the guy was putting the timing belt back on, it slipped or something because he bent the valves so we got the heads from another car and he has everything back together but he needs to make a cap out of metal, steel or aluminum to cover the hole in the picture below! Sorry, that's the only way I can explain it but I don't know what the part actually is.

If you are talking about to what I've pointed out with the red arrow that is a welch plug and should be available at any auto parts store. See pic

Looks to me like you installed a head that uses a distributor and yours doesn't which would mean you installed the wrong head.
