Question Help To Identify/What Is This

While switching the engine side motor mounts from a bad engine to a replacement one of theses(pictured) came from behind the mount on each engine. Was the passenger side mount. The bolts for the mounts dont fit through hole and I cant find anything that I unbolted that these can go to. I personally pulled out my bad motor and the other motor i picked up from a guy. Just wondering what this is and where it goes before i finish mounting my engine. thank you!

Looks like a distributor hold-down clamp.

Like said, its the distributor clamp. You only need one. And it must be used. If you already have one holding the distributor down, youre good to go.
