MISSING SHIM?

I am returning to my project after having been off for a couple years. I recently discovered this small piece which looks to be a shim (.024"). It was more than likely meant to be discarded in favor of a better piece, but I can't remember installing this. Since it is marked with an "A", I can only assume there is also been a "B". Can anyone direct me to where I should look for this in the plans? Thanks in advance for your help.

Vielen Dank, but the shim you show here I have in place. The shim in question is much smaller, only .024 thick, but thanks for checking!
 
Do the holes line up with the shims? It could be in additional shim for that area to bring the stabilizer up to spec. I needed about another .010" on the right side for mine. I would remeasure the stab before discarding it.
 
That's a good point but I know it's not for the stabilizer. I have been good about organizing such small items so they don't get misplaced, that's why I suspect I was unhappy with this and therefore decided to trash it, but it never made it to the trash bin. A very good thought on your part. Thanks for responding.
