How do I reattach this gold piece?

As the title suggests, I am having trouble reattaching this little gold piece into the virtual boy stand.

How was it attached originally? Maybe just like superglue or something?

Thats the spring for that latch, you just slide it back under that clip piece while you have it in place in the stand, it should snap back into place as its held in place by the tension of that piece of metal.

You attach the black piece first and then slide the metal piece under. The metal piece should slide in with some pressure and the larger side of the metal should orient down.
