That part goes right at the back of the psu.  It sorts of intersects the top half of the psu to the bottom half.  Adjacent to were the power cord goes in.  It sits on the corner.  Best description I can give you without taking the actual psu out of the case right now.  If you can hold on till the weekend when I put that mystery ic in mine I can take a photo for you.

You are top Man Gabby

I knew it was somewhere there but count figure out the orientation.
Wonder whats the purpose then? Stopper for the PSU?
