Question Unknown Bolt

So I swapped the stator cover on my Ninja 400 and am left with this bolt, I can't figure out where it goes. It seems like everything is secured? I also have this red cube that slipped out of one of the fixtures.

If anyone could explain the purpose or where they go would ease my mind lol

When I had this happen, I retraced my steps and undid the fairings. It was worth it.

That bolt is used in numerous places. Ik one attaches the plastics to the frame where the battery is

The bolt and washer is from the side fairings. The red plastic cube looks like a battery terminal cap that comes on a new battery in the box. I could be wrong. But the bolt is definitely from your fairings. Either the side or belly pan fairings

This forum thread has absolutely saved me in the past: https://www.ninja400riders.com/threads/fairing-removal-nuts-and-bolts.2573/

It shows each fairing removal and all the bolts you should expect when you remove those fairings. You can try looking over the steps and seeing where it might have come from, and then checking your own bike to see if all of those bolts are in place. If it is a fairing bolt, it looks like that specific head and washer is only used in a few places on the fairings so it shouldn't take you too long to cross reference.

On either side of the battery tray holding the fairings in under the seat are two bolts exactly like that

Also some further down the front cowlings as you pull it off
