Where does this rubber flap go????

hey guys i just got my plow bracket removed and there was this rubber flap hanging down and it doesn't really reach anywhere it just comes somewhat close to the front bumper, my question is am i missing another rubber piece or was it maybe reversed when the plow setup was on? where do i snap it in? lol

Here is the pic

I don't see a picture, but my best guess is under the radiator?

It attaches to the bumper. Should line up with some of the holes on it.

actually i just ran out and checked and it is more than an inch its more like 2 or 3 short, here is a pic sorry for the crappy quality and how its so close i couldnt get the truck up my jack is broken. I was holding it up and as close as i could get it to my bumper, is it just all one piece? i think it may have been trimmed by the plow company that put the bracket on and nowi need a new one it still has the push pins however tho.

Some snowplow mounts like Western have the blocker beam removed from the truck and I think that might be where the rubber flap used to attach to.

I have a strong feeling that they removed it, is there any way to tell? the plow has been on it since i was little so i never went under the truck to see what it looked like before it was installed.
