Windshield Washer - I think I screwed up

[Mitch90535im]

Tired of having to ask my wife who has small hands to do all the tight-spot work for me I got over anxious while at home telecommuting today to replace the washer fluid level sensor in my 535i. Not seeing it at first I unplugged the washer fluid pump instead and what appeared to be a little metal clip of somesort (I suppose with the purpose of holding the pump in place) popped away and disappeared into never never land in that general vicinity of the car where I can't see a damn thing. So, I'm curious if that is indeed a clip that is necessary for holding the pump in place on the tank, what it's called, where I can find one, and most importanly, how in Hell are you supposed to get access to it to install it?

Or, second part of the question, does the gromet pictured above hold the pump in place all by itself?

Also, while I'm asking, not that my tank is empty and I now know where the level sensor is, which direction should the clear plastic float actually face in the tank, up or down?
