Kevin are you talking about the triangle section on the left gunners plate ? or the actual bent metal gunners plate which slots over the gunners apperture ?
if its the first i thought there was a cast peice which the plate sits against when open ? or technically.....in the lowered position

Here are the pictures of how the Gunners plate pivots on the front armour. Ive tried to get it in all of the positions so that you can see how it works. Basically the bolt that holds the rifle holder to the front armour has a part that sticks out on the front side. The gunners plate then pivots off of the big screw and stops up against the end of the bolt.
I'll let the pictures explain the rest.
