(picture link) This fell out of my motherboard

I'm replacing the system board on a T500 with faulty ATI and this fell out of the motherboard. Any idea where it goes?

I think that belongs to part of the plastic that helps routes the right side usb daughter board.

I had to disassemble my T500 to clean a juice spill once. The same piece fell out. Never could figure out WTH that part is or where it belonged. Probably somewhere in the trash now. :lol:

My father asked an email contact where it goes and he says it supports the sim card near the battery connector. Next time I disassemble the machine (new board doesn't work) I'll see if I can fit it!
