    Didn’t disassemble this part and can’t seem to figure out where it goes

    I am not 100% sure but it looks like the parking brake lever bracket.

    I took that part of the car off and don't remember anything like this. All 5 holes appear to have had bolts through them because there are washer rings still visible. The two with the clips normally are body bolts. I'll look again

    After another look, I believe it is a bracket for the hood latch.
