Almost done with alternator diy but ran into a problem. Help please

I feel pretty ignorant asking for assistance but I need to finish putting everything back together on my alternator install as I have to drive to work tomorrow. I am in the process of wrapping it up putting everything back together but for the life of me I can’t remember where these brackets attach to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The top picture bracket goes on the lower alternator bolt. The tab goes off to the right and stops it from rotating.

If you already put the lower alt bolt on your have to take it back out and out that bracket on it :-P

I have taken my alternator out more than your average bear and I can't recognize the lower picture bracket sorry. Maybe something I removed a long time ago because it wasn't necessary for me or maybe something you removed in excess. Maybe some one else can help on that one sorry.
