New 4" Stretched Saddlebags - Question

[TotalBS]

I love my 2024 Street Glide, but have never liked the look of the Adventure-bike style saddlebags... So I just purchased 4" stretched bags from TCMT. Gotta, say I'm quite impressed with the quality of the bags! Now I just need to have them painted and color-matched. My question is that the bags came two small polished metal pieces (see photo below - Utility knife is just for size reference). I contacted the place I bought the bags, but have not yet heard back. Does anyone know where they go and/or what they are for?
Thanks! in advance.

Maybe the skid plates for the bottom of bags. seeing the extended bags are lower?

That would make sense, but they are cut for something specific and don’t line up anywhere along the bottoms of the bags.

Skid plates for the bottom of the bags. My 2021 had them on the bottom of the bags.

Where do they go? Based on their shape they don’t fit the bottoms of the bags anywhere.

Mine were at the end of the bags at the bottom

That makes sense... but the plates I received dont fit anywhere along the bottoms of my bags. Thanks for your time and replies.
