Part identification AC Drier/Receiver area

Hey all,

Not urgent but need help identifying a part (orange arrow). It is a plastic collar with very small clips just dangling on the AC Evap Outlet tube. I thought it may fit under the round thing (yellow arrow) and it feels like there's a groove underneath but it won't fit in.

May exist in both V8 and V12 as well. If anyone happens to be working/looking in this area, please let me know if you find a similar part and how it should have been fitted.

Much appreciated.

That is the "quick release" for that AC line which comes apart under that doughnut. If you shove that plastic piece back into the doughnut it lifts a coil spring out of the way so the tubes separate. IOW, leave it there, it belongs there just in case you have to tear into your AC system!
