I honestly don't know the function of that piece. I think I remember reading or hearing something about it just being a sort of 'filler' for the loading nozzle so it doesn't have any play up and down.
That being said, I also remember either reading or hearing that it isn't a super necessary part. And without it, the gun should still function fine.
I wouldn't 100% take my word on that because I would hate to cause you more problems if that part is very necessary after all.
Maybe someone else can chime in.
