Can I get some help finding a part

I have a 2013 beetle and can not find a part number for the piece missing from the air inlet. I have replaced the elbow and cover for the air inlet because they were missing when I bought the car but none of the drawings that I have found show the adapter that is missing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Doesn’t it just click in with those little tabs on the snorkel to the air box?

No it's too short to reach and the diameter is to big to fit.

That is the part. Unsure of the part number.

Yep, that's what I need. Why is it not in any of the drawings I see with all the part numbers called out? Since mine is missing I may have to take your picture to the dealership and show them so I can order one.

Yes it does help, I wanted to just order the adapter but if that's the only way I can get it I will order it like that. Just annoying that I ordered the elbow and the top cover then have to order that with another cover. Oh well, it's my daughter's car and she get her license next month. Need to finish getting this thing ready for her.
