The end of the lower half is closed off with tiny holes surrounding it to allow for oil to seep through. That is where the piece must be. I do not run any risk for engine failure so I am certainly happy about that. Thanks for all the input.

Just be sure that there is room enough in the tube for two gauges (end pieces), or else you may not be able to replace the dipstick without first removing the old piece.
