Newbie embarrassing question - what are these underbody parts?

All,

I took off splash shield from my 2013 328i e93 car to change water pump and clean up the engine (lots of oil). I put things back together but have these 3 parts (2 the same) that I can't figure out how to put back.

Does anyone know what these parts are?

On flickr, click the clockwise arrow located to the bottom right of the image. Then copy/paste the BB code for the 1024 sized image. As for the parts, I don't know what the two bottom ones are, but the larger piece is an additional shield. The flat side slides into a groove under the radiator. The other end attaches to two little hangers (maybe the other pieces?). Then the larger shield goes in place and covers it all.

Mine is E90 so it looks a bit different but hope it helps.

I had a recording of how it looked just in case before i took it out recently. I think maybe the only difference is the metal bar thing?

As mentioned above, the large panel is the underpanel for the radiator. The two matching pieces are aero deflectors that go in front of the tires.

#9 and #18 in this diagram:
