steering column plug question

Hey guys, I wrapping up the wiring under the dash of my 66 and have a question. The 8 pin plug that plugs into the two 4 pin plugs from the column just hangs loose. There appears to be a metal tang on it that might snap into a clip somewhere but I can't figure out where it clips. Does anyone have a clue where this may hide out at. The curvature of the plug suggests somewhere along the column?

Re: steering column plug question

Boy i'm surprised that your not wanting to change your column.Any problems with your turn singles switch or anything else.there is a bent little square peace of metal that has a cut throw it and the metal tab squeezes into it Me i just rerouteing the wires to loop over one of the insisting wire looms to keep it out of the way or a Zip tie here is the bracket i think its bent but its suppose to lay flat to keep the harness out of view
