MAP sensor vacuum tube placement

Hi all, ive done a decent amount of scouring for an answer as to wear the grey vacuum tube goes into the map sensor. It broke off at some point during my supercharger service and it just kinda pulled out. I believe I know where the sensor is at this point but I have no idea how to get the (new) tube back in there so it connects properly. Based on photos of a brand new tube, it looks like it just snapped the end adaptor off but the rest is still on the sensor. Any tips/diagrams would be appreciated.

The gray hard plastic tube simply runs from bottom of the MAP sensor by the thermostat housing to the right push in on the intake tube. (Left push connector is for the brake diaphragm, right for MAP sensor)

Not having a pic of your problem makes me wonder if it simply didn't get pushed into the intake tube properly when doing your S/C service, wasn't truly locked in, and just pulled out.
The red push connectors for the intake (almost impossible to get, unless someone has started 3-D printing them) can be a bit of a pain, the tube has to go in very straight, and fully, to get them to lock properly.

Otherwise, try and post a pic for us.

Hope this helps.
