Default Help what is this?

I was backing out of a parking spot last night and hit a curb I didn't see and this metal box got knocked down and was dragging. I had to zip tie it and drive home. I asked some mechanics and they were too sure what is it. I even looked online but couldn't find much. Thanks in advanced for all the help. 2009 v6 btw

Can't get a picture but the clips holding it in place should be fairly obvious
