Cargo Area - Hang net vertically?

I'd like to install a cargo net in my 2012 HL vertically behind the second row. When we go camping I pack the cargo area but want to make sure things don't fall on the kids. It would be nice to keep the dog back there too instead of just jumping over the seat. I notice that there is a cap just under the air vents in the cargo area that hides a bolt. This just happens to be directly inline with the bottom cargo anchors so it seems like it may be used for what I'm trying to do. Maybe I can just screw in an eyelet and get creative, but I'm wondering if there is a Toyota kit already for this.

Thanks!

I think those bolts under the caps are just meant to hold the headliner up. Well the kluger (Australian Highlander, identical to ours) has a cargo barier.

You might see if you can track down an austrailian based retailer than can send you one. There have been a few people here on TN who have done that (they ordered the OEM Kluger bull/nudge bar).
I know there are universal barriers that wedge between the cargo floor/roof that are easy enough to find on google.
You could see if you can install an eyelet into that headliner bolt (if you can make the eyelet thread short enough so that the eyelet itself will support the headliner), but I personally wouldn't put a lot of weight/strain on it.
