Where does this go?

We are changing an internal rated socket out for an external rated socket. When we opened the casing on the socket theee small cross shape piece fell out and we can’t figure out where it goes back in. Can anyone help? Thanks. Refer to photos.

Not really sure what you are trying to achieve, you appear to have dismantled the socket.

It looks a bit like you've taken an outdoor socket and undone the wrong screws.

Some external sockets have screws to open the case (to install/connect it), and also some screws to remove the front part of the socket assembly (which you would not normally undo)!

We took apart the wrong part of the socket in hindsight. Can’t put it back together so a new one it is!!

Without wishing to sound unkind (genuinely!)..... are you confident in your abilities to do this?

I can understand why you would ask! Annoyed at myself for taking it apart. I’m fine with connecting the wires into the correct spots in the socket. Done many times before. Thanks for asking
