Where does this plastic wire shroud go?

I'm either terrible at deduction, a bad searcher of the interwebs or both. I can't for the life of me figure out where this plastic wire shroud goes. Here is a picture. This is the upper right corner of the engine bay.

Thank you in advance.

I believe that wire harness actually serves the ABS sensor on the knuckle.

Or are you talking about that yellowish duct thing? That's actually the drain for the windshield cowel.

must be a LHD thing my RHD doesnt have this conduit. It looks to be missing the cover?..i assume its loose, it looks attached at the top?

Edit -Just saw Pete’s post. Same thing here

The square conduit clips on to the crash bar mount there’s a pin that locates in a hole. The bottom of the clip breaks off and the whole thing falls off. If that’s what your asking about.

Sorry for my photo orientation.
It’s there as a guide for the 4C/ABS/wheel speed sensor wires.

On our previous 2006 XC70, I found this thing just sorta floating around in that vicinity. Never could figure out how/where it attached. It annoyed the heck outta me. Then I bought the 04 V70R & became acquainted with it when I was replacing the front 4C shocks.
