door lock mechanism - door panel taken apart

I took apart my driver's door today to take a look at the DLM.


I can't figure out what the metal spring clip in the middle of the photo does:

It sits in a immobile metal bracket on one end, and on the plastic casing on the other end. Neither end moves.

It looks as though the "L" shaped metal arm to its right (which is connected to the door handle) has a little hook in it. But the "L" moves as soon as the door handle is pulled so if the metal spring clip is supposed to sit in the hook, it would fall out the first time the door handle is pulled:


My worry is if that clip is in its right position at all? Those who have opened their door panel to have a look at the door lock mechanisms, any ideas?
