If I understand you correctly, the steel guide was loose from the Cam Cover?

If so, I suggest you remove both screws, clean the screws & the tapped holes with brake cleaner & blow dry before reinstalling with Loctite 262 (red high strength) You absolutely do not want it to come completely loose & get caught up in the timing chains. It has happened before.

Otherwise, I understand the plastic facing was firmly attached to the steel guide. Correct?
