What is this?

Alright fellers, on the side of my injection pump, i got my intake filter housing for my turbo and it bolts to the holes in the very bottom right corner of the screen that i didnt' really get in the picture, but i can't bolt them down because that piece sticks up, there are 2 screws t hat hold it in place but when i loosened them to try to slide it down it springs back up so i just put the screws back in where it was adjusted.
What is it and how do i go about getting my inlet on?

I could be mistaken, but it looks like a vacuum modulator for a c6 auto that's been uselessly blocked off, if you don't have a c6 in there just pull it off.

Too many "things in the back", what are you referring to? can you take a picture of it and circle it so we can help you out.
