I have the same radiator. The part in your photo, at the end of the hose, is what's left of the L-shaped nozzle that clamps to the expansion tank hose. The other part has broken off and is now sitting somewhere inside your radiator. Just replace the whole thing with the replacement part I linked to above, and you are good to go.
