Both the "up" and "down" hoses go to actuators (flaps). One you can see in your first picture, at bottom. The other (loose hose) is in the crossover tube. The hose popped loose when you lifted the crossover up and out. You may want to trim the hose a bit to get "new" rubber that will grip better. Thanks for providing good pictures.
