Plastic disk/cap wedged in engine

Anybody know what this is? I found it wedged up against one of the belts. You can see where the belt has worn a hole right through it. MY 2024 with only 1000 miles on it.

Judging by the shape, probably the intake cap the engine ships with. Definitely from the factory/build

That's my guess, as well. Probably was the cap for the plastic turbo intake tube on an assembled engine in storage. After they seated the engine in the bay they probably either removed it, then set it aside and forgot about it (and it fell down to a lower point near the serpentine belt), or it was knocked off while installing the engine in the bay and not noticed.

This is aftermarket but that cover would fit this... what connects the air intake to the turbo.
