Question coil packs

I have a used '02 GTI. The cover over the engine is gone, I imagine that it got pitched after the CAI and suspension linkage bar was installed. Anyway, I believe there is a piece of metal that fastens over the coil packs to secure them in place. What's the proper name for that piece? I need a new one.

After lengthy car trips I noticed that one of the coil packs tends to move up. I'm worried that one of these days, I'll be doing 75 down the highway and it looses connection completely and the engine will start misfiring... you know?

Thanks again guys.

Those are after-market. New style coils (00+) are not bolted to the valve cover.

I think its to due with people using armor all on the valve cover area seeps in and causes the coils to pop out.
