Where should this plastic part be installed on the Citroen C5 II MK2?

Hello, I removed the door trim to repair the rear door handle. This piece was inside the door, and I don't know exactly where it came from. Where should this piece be installed? Can you show me a picture of where the piece belongs?

This is the exploded diagram showing your piece. It looks like it is a shield for the lock operating rod but that is only my interpretation. Hopefully you can figure it out from there: :)

I installed the part but I don't think it's a very useful or functional part. :-D :-D

From your initial perspective maybe not. If, however, it prevents things dislodging that rod (which may then stop the door opening from the outside, for example)...
