Help - coolant level sensor dropped out!

Time for a dumb question - do I need to worry about my coolant sensor which has dropped out of the bottom of the expansion tank?

i have just changed my XJR Rubber hose from MAF to alloy casting, then went for a short run. The coolant light was on, so I looked and the sensor has dropped out - I must have bumped it when wrestling the new rubber hose into place. There is no leak - seemingly it doesn’t actually sit in the coolant?

Do do I need to worry?
thanks for any replies

No cause for concern. It won't leak.

It just sits in a recess in the tank. Put it back in and if necessary secure with some appropriate adhesive or sealant.
