Where does this small rubbery part go during reassembly?

Hello, we disassembled iPhone 4 to replace display, turned case upside down and this tiny (approx 7.75 x 2.25) black, rubbery piece fell out and I am unable to locate this piece on ifixit teardown and cannot work out where it goes (around rear camera lens frame?, below headphone jack?, or somewhere around sim slot perhaps?)

This is a non-essential part. It is the cushion for the two front screen flex cables as they bend over the top of the logic board. The groove of this rubber cushion loosely sits on the logic board top edge, (with the wider side down as you work, I believe).
