Default Need help with steering column part ID

Hey everyone! I need help identifying a part for my 1990. It's the white plastic piece behind the clockspring. It's got the same function as a horn lead tower but if it goes by that same name then I can't seem to find one for a 1990. But the horn lead wire with the spring on it is suppsed to clip into it. Mine is broken as you can see in the pics. Looks like it's part of a larger piece so I am not sure if the part goes by a different name than horn lead tower. If anyone knows what the searchable term is called for it, or can link to a replacement that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

Air bag clocking spring/coil, Not Cheap Not Easy to find new
If you're concern is the white broken piece horn contact pocket
Just hard to find, can be salvaged from most GM air bag cars

It sits behind the clockspring, and the clockspring slips over it. The third picture is with the clockspring slid forward to view behind it. I had the same thought and was relieved it wasn't the clockspring because of the price, but now I can't find the correct part either haha.
