large pic warning!
ok, I have an old school Earthquake 400TX rated for 150x2 and 400 bridged 4 ohms. When it was in my old car it worked great for a couple of years then I noticed one day the bass got a lot looser and sounded sloppy. So I opened it up and found a thingy rattling around in there. I'm going to attempt to solder it back on but I need to know if it matters which direction the thing faces, don't want to completely destroy my amp. Pics are posted below. First pic is the whole board, second pic is a close up of the area in question and third pic is the thing that fell off. The spot where the part fell off is labeled D303 and the piece is labeled as in the pic. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

match the silver line with the thick line on the circuit board and you should be fine
