Is it a "bushing"? How about a "sleeve"? First you say it's a "plug" (thread title), then you call it a "bezel". How do you know?

One things for sure, your pics need to be closer and more in focus.

I would put it back. It's not a "trim" or appearance item and as such, I would be inclined put it back in.
