Don't worry about it. Can't miss it when you disassemble, it's the largest plastic part and the only one colored white. And there's nothing to be careful about really, just to know that when you...

Because I got the question in private multiple times:
- buck modules are not insulated so they have a single ground - no need to connect both ground wires, any of the two will do
