Another P38 P1 Question Please?

I was field stripping my P38 P1 to clean the other evening. When I got it apart a small stainless steel "clip" feel off. Upon further examination I located where it came from. On the underside of the barrel there is an indented "pocket" that has a small hole that a portion of this part sticks out to act as some type of a (I'm guessing) a "tension spring" to help keep in place the milled solid steel part that is "tunged" to go into the "grooved" on the bottom of the barrel. I got the part back in - with some difficulty. However, I don't know if I properly installed the piece. If this part were missing would it be critical to the operation and/or safe to fire? (Probably a stupid question since the part is there for a reason.)Any positive feedback would be appreciated.
