uvch zip ties

Hello all, I'm new so...... ok long story short. I was changing GP and uvch had 2 of the zip ties break. found the one but after 6 hours searching cannot find the other one. Of course it's in the very back on the passenger side I think it may have fallen down the oil drain passage in the back. Is there a windage tray in the oil pan that it could have fallen on? Was thinking of d re aining engine oil and screening it to try and find it. what options do I have? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I removed two harnesses last week and was missing a couple of zip ties too. Been that way for 10's of thousands of miles I would assume.

Press on with the repairs.

I had several zip ties broken off when I replaced my UVCHs this year. Found some pieces but not enough to say that I got all of it. As Sous said it's probably been that way for a long time and I've had no issues.

If the OEM UVCH is still being sold with zip ties then it must not be an issue. Find what you can and move on IMO.
