Mystery cog and spring in PS4 disk drive

I was trying to repair an issue with my ps4 not taking a disc. I now have a new problem. I opened up the top of the disc drive to reveal the laser but this was the wrong side to fix my problem. Not thinking I flipped it over and a little black cog and spring fell out. It's appears that the spring goes into the cog but I'm not sure and where you put them after that I haven't a clue. Any ideas?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

On the drive side, close to the left side of the console, this is for emergency disc eject.

I put the black piece on place, but the drive doesn't accept disks at all...

When you replaced the black piece, do you by any chance remember where it went?

Mine has come out with the spring and I have no idea where it goes but mine also isn't accepting disks.

Thanks for any help

I can't see your image but it possible the same spring I couldn't relocate yesterday, it comes from the manual eject cog.

If you have the drive so the white cogs are on the right hand side (there are 3 or 4 of them depending on your model from memory), about half way up there is a small black cog that the spring goes in.
