Default Dip Stick Guide Tube was pulled.. Where does it go back in?

SO I'm almost done with doing the clutch job in my garage, finally got it off jack stands and on the ground and am now putting the air intake manifold back together.

HOWEVER, I can't find out where/how to connect the dipstick guide tube back to its original location? I just completed a full clutch job and am now stuck on this little thing If anyone knows/has photos it would be greatly appreciated!

I found where it looks like it would go, got it the side tube.. but the dip stick won't go all of the way in ??

It just shoves into the hole down low on the block, then the brace bolts to the side of the intake manifold. If there is something confusing about it, I wonder if the tube may have gotten bent since it should be straightforward.

Did your dip stick tube have the "O" ring ?

You have the end with the raised lip on it going into the hole and not the other way around, right? It only goes about 1" or so into the engine block with a new O ring installed and then the flat tang on the other end bolts to the side of the block.
