Default A Arm bumper

I got 2 plates that are the same size as the base of the lower a arm bumper. I do not see no purpose for it but I do not want to leave out. Does it go under the bumper or under the a arm? Thx
Sorry about the dumb ?. Brain is fried and can not make sense of why I got this parts....

Sorry, not sure I fully understand your question. Click on the photo below that pic of the bumper to see the installation. Just bolts to the top of the lower arm.

I believe that second plate may go on the opposite side of the a-arm for additional strength.

bolt second plate on from bottom, it is a reinforcement brace.
used to sandwiches the A Arm for strength.
