Default Headlight Retaining Clip

Noticed today (been a rough day for the Ram) that I'm missing the retaining clip on the passenger side headlight:

Part number 55-1100 #7 on the diagram, is that the clip I'm missing? I can't really tell by the picture

Can anyone else confirm or deny that's the right part?

Shouldn't cause a problem with it gone until you get it replaced though. I had one missing for over a year. I just didn't care it was gone. Headlight didn't move around so I said screw it.

Sadly that isn't the case for mine, it will pop out at times, the headlight doesn't fall out, but that screw comes out of it's slot, putting the headlight at an angle away from the truck....
