Your query uses an anti-join. An anti-join can be implemented with LEFT JOIN + WHERE IS NULL just as well as with NOT EXISTS. So, convert your script to the LEFT JOIN version, swap the sides, and you are done:

SELECT ms.*
FROM dbo.ResearchRpt ms
  LEFT JOIN OPENQUERY(MYSQL, 'SELECT * FROM ResearchRpt') my
    ON my.Id_report = ms.Id_report
WHERE my.Id_report IS NULL
