Default Something seems loose behind the shroud

Well I think I found the reason for my squeaking. One guy from the dealer said it was the recall with the clutch/alternator then another guy somehow like fixed it by taking a wire brush and cleaning off some of the belts. Dont know who to trust...

Anyway when I was looking at it I noticed a black thing behind the shroud that seems loose. It looks like the fan behind the radiator (hmmm do i make sense here). It just doesn't seem right. Any thoughts?

If no one can help me with my poor description Ill take a picture.
Thanks again

The dealership I bought the car from had to detail it and somehow all the dirt stuck to whatever kind of crrap they put on it. I brought it to another dealership not too long ago and they told me what the squeak was (they told me one thing before but I believe this is the real problem) because of someone detailing the engine.

I will clean it up with a cloth after I know what the deal is with this thing behind the radiator.
