What are these parts and where do they go???

I did a bunch of work to my 2000 Jetta TDI recently, and I found these parts tucked away in the recesses of the engine bay. Can anyone tell me what they are and where they go?

The threaded job is the fuel filter bracket clamp. Not sure about the plastic trough. If you Google the part number I'm sure it'll pop up with a schematic.

I'm guessing the plastic bit is a support for the wiring loom or maybe fuel/ brake lines

Plastic trough is a harness support on the driver's side under the master cylinder.

Awesome. Thank you. I’ll take a look in that area. Funny that I found it under my battery tray…

if I recall, there's also a plastic wire guide/conduit under the battery tray, too.
