Resolved - Holley carb C80F-9510-C - loose part in front bowl

While taking this carb apart to jet down a few numbers (running rich at our altitude), I found a loose part in the front bowl I can’t identify (in pic between jets). It was just sitting at bottom of bowl not attached.

I looked at pics online and couldn’t ID where it would go, and the rear bowl doesn’t have it. Page 10-81 of Shop Manual doesn’t show it.

Is this just a mystery part that shouldn’t be there?

After taking another look at the pic in shop manual, it appears to be a “baffle” thats reside on 2 pins on metering block and not screwed in. I don’t know if it was always loose or simple dropped down when pulling bowl.
