I am thinking I had a similiar thing happen to a wrangler once... Seems there is a gizmo in there that the pump intake had to sit NEXT to..
I would take good measurements with my trusty ruler and proceed as needed. If it came out of there it should go back inside. If it is a replacement somebody might have cut the hose too long the first time.. If so SHORTEN IT!
