Fuel tank not gauge problem

I posted a question on the list a few days ago as my fuel gauge would not read 
below half a tank and received many suggestions.  On examination it appears 
that the gauge and sender unit were working fine but I found that a baffle 
plate inside the tank (about 8-10 inches square)had wedged inself under the 
sender unit float - hence it would not read less than half.  The tank is the 
aluminium version of the standard BJ8 tank and is not foam filled.
 
Now the question is how did this baffle come free, assuming its not supposed to 
roam free inside the tank, and how do I get it back where it should be given 
the opening via the sender unit aperture is very small?
 
Any thoughts on this much appreciated.
