Default where does this go?

I took apart the front brakes, brake lines, wheel cyls., backing plates over 2 weeks ago. Now all the parts I need are here to put everything back together.
There is a clip what looks like a horseshoe. I can't for the life of me remember where it goes. I am going to try to post a picture.

Could be the clip that holds the rubber brake line to the frame bracket??

Looks like the clip on the stud of the self adjuster where it goes through the brake shoe. If you did both sides there should be two of them.

It can be a clip on the brake hose, opposite side of the square frame bracket clip.

Thanks everyone.
I dug the old rubber brake line from trash. The new rubber line does NOT have a slot where this clip was inserted. The new lines from Ames has an Incorporated flange to hold it tight to the bottom of the square bracket.
After seeing them side by side, I kind of remember where I took it off. Getting old really sucks (LOL)
