Default Fan / Radiator Removal

Hi All
Continuing on my project I removed my Fans & Radiator today. I have a tub of coolant under the car - more will come out as I remove things. When I was done I found this in the tub. It is from the Pass Side. I looked on the Driver Side and couldn't find a matching 'sibling' so I have no idea where is belongs or what it fell off of.
Does anyone know what this is and where it should be returned to?
Thanks for any help

That fits on to the plastic upper radiator support just above the AC lines

Thanks for the reply - I'll look there. Is there one on the Driver Side as well? I either missed it or don't have another on that side.

Just the one side, IIRC it's to keep the AC line from rubbing.

Thanks for the help! I took that Rad Cover off 10 days ago! It just showed up now?? How does stuff like that happen?
Maybe It fell off when I removed the cover and was just sitting on something waiting for me to knock it into the tub of coolant - who knows. BTW - it floats.
Thanks MUCH!!
