95 850T Odd little loose bracket found under starter

So when disassembling my donor car I found this little silver bracket tucked under the starter. Hard to see but it has a little bent tab sticking straight down from the silver (just covered in crud.) About 1.5 x 1" plus that half inch tab.

Any ideas what it is? I have no idea where it goes.

Thanks.

PCV hose bracket. It is usually attached to the lower corner intake manifold bolt closest to the transmission.

Thank you Robert. I think I figured out how to reinstall it. It hangs from the lower right intake manifold bolt, and you install the manifold between it and the engine/gasket. It seems to hold the PVC hose closer to the engine, for some unknowable Swedish reason...
