Intake Manifold HELP!

I was changing the engine air filter in my 2011 Countryman S today when I came across a loose hose. It took me a while to find the name of it but this diagram says it's called the intake manifold. (No. 7) In any case, I tried to push it in but it wouldn't stay in place. Is there a pin or clamp that is needed to hold it in place snuggly?

Thanks!

Ok, #7 on the diagram you linked is actually just an elbow in the fresh air intake pipe going to the airbox. It should snap together. It’s a bit oblong, not round and has a couple of raised bumps or tabs that lock into matching holes on the other pipe. The other end just twists into the airbox. It’s not anything that will be a problem, but it does supply cool fresh air to the intake. Worst cast, you can put a little black duct tape around it. It doesn’t hold any pressure or anything just air coming into the filter.
