Grounding Cable Help

While checking my air filter, I noticed two grounding cables that were disconnected at the dealership during work and never reattached.

One cable has an "L" type end and it dangling near what I think is a part of the heater grid. The other cable is attached to the air box.

I have driven for 7 months with no issues, no flashing lights on the dashboard. (Possibly 12+ months of dirving if it was the dealership that replaced my transmission)

At first, I tried to reattach the cables myself. The one on the airbox is about 2 inches too short to connect to the passenger-side battery.
And I have no clue where the L-shaped one goes. Google said its for the Heater Grid Relay (or thats where its going to weld itself if it makes contact)

The dealership initially planned to send a tow truck to take it back to the dealer for repair. Now they changed their tune and are denying everything and wanting to change me.

I didn't have my Fuel Filter changed, but Google said those cables get disconnected to improve access to the Fuel Filter.

Ive attached some photos. Any guidance on this? Has this happened to anyone else?

Google is smoking AI crack… the fuel filter is on the other side of the engine.

I’ve removed things to get better access to the oil filter, but never any wires from the battery.

What did the dealership work on?
