Looking for help on Flash Gordon. I replaced all of the drop targets, but when I did the single drop target I forgot where a piece went (the L brace in the picture) target had worked before and coil works, but when I start a game this target doesn’t go up. I assume this piece is integral but can’t seem to get it to fit anywhere

I don't really see that metal piece in the mechanism drawing of the parts catalog, and it looks shinier that the rest so might not be original.
Does the coil to reset the drop target in the up position operate?

It looks like there is a small part missing or broken off of your pull-back armature. It’s closer to the playfield. You appear to be missing the spring too.

Basically as the diagram shows when the small coil on the back side pulls in the armature, it knocks the target down.

I’m not sure if the L piece you are highlighting is part of a fix for the broken(?) armature. It does not look original.
