Default A4 fluid change - I might have broken something....

I dropped the pan, emptied the fluid and took out the filter. I was attempting to take out the filter neck/gasket to replace the new one, but I saw something fall. It was about a 1cm x 1cm piece of very thin metal. I looked up and saw another piece, about the same size, hanging next to the filter neck opening. It was partially attached, so I pulled it off. The problem is I don't know if I broke something important, or if it was just an insignificant piece of thin metal.

Here's a pic to see what I mean......

Sorry, I didn't take pics of them.

However, if you notice the opening in the pic where the pieces came from, they are much smaller than the opening. Together, the 2 pieces would not be enough to close the opening. It seems like they were just attached to the housing, but not enclosing anything.

Can you describe the metal pieces, are they part of the case or the drum...?
