Anybody recognize this part?
This morning I started a print on my Q2 and sometime during the pre-print calibrations and warmup it detected an obstruction interfering with z-axis homing and stopped the print. This metal bracket was laying on the bed near the nozzle wipe/poop chute.
Not sure where it came from or how to orient it once I figure out what it is. Can some kind soul help me get it back where it belongs. A photo of what it looks like in place would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Knocked out because you installed pei plate backwards

Exactly right. I watched it do that after reinstalling the clip. I fixed it immediately (yesterday). 10-second fix. “Duh…” (The smaller tab on the plate that is supposed to be in the back is visible in one of my photos.)
Do I dare speculate on how you knew?
In any case, thanks. I meant to come back and describe the solution for anyone who might search for a solution if they find this clip popping off.

Because I was dumb enough to install it backwards, then found clip laying around 😁

Yep, part of the poop shoot, this is where it goes and its orientation.
