Hi guys,
I've taken apart my Iphone 14 Plus to put everything in a new housing. unfortunately in the process I've taken something out which I now don't know where belongs. Can anybody please help?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the input @flannelist. Some very close inspection of teardowns helped me to find the location. It's something between the speaker and the charging port part. I've attached a picture below. Phone all working now! Thanks!

I have not worked on one of these yet. But Apple loves little bits like these. It looks like an antenna of some kind. Based on the way its shape I would wager it goes into the side of the housing somewhere, like a button flex. My first through would be the NFC antenna which is usually in the sidewall of the housing near the rear camera. But I haven’t been able to pin down the location for sure.
Here’s a pretty in depth teardown for the 14 Plus on a top down view. You might be able to find the placement based on this.
