Apple’s new format for the 14 lineup features a 6.7-inch OLED—like the Pro Max—but the same features as the iPhone 14 with a dual camera setup and the Bionic A15 chip with a 5-core GPU.

Thanks for the input @flannelist. Some very close inspection of teardowns helped me to find the location. It's something between the speaker and the charging port part. I've attached a picture below. Phone all working now! Thanks!

I have not worked on one of these yet. But Apple loves little bits like these. It looks like an antenna of some kind. Based on the way its shape I would wager it goes into the side of the housing somewhere, like a button flex. My first through would be the NFC antenna which is usually in the sidewall of the housing near the rear camera. But I haven’t been able to pin down the location for sure.

Here’s a pretty in depth teardown for the 14 Plus on a top down view. You might be able to find the placement based on this.
