Default Kelvinator Stove, missing wire.

I'm afraid I became over zealous in my cleaning of the stove my landlord brought me. While having the top proped up to clean the pan underneath I managed to tear off one of 2 Green wires that ground to the frame of the stove.
I have looked at the back of another stove that had simular colored wire coding. It too had 2 green wires grounding to the frame. One grounded the clock. And the other the grounded the "Accesory Outlet".
I'm fairly sure this is where it should have gone, though I can't see where it was removed.
The length of the wire would only reach the plug or possibly the oven switch or one of the other budled wire groups.
I realize this should call for an electrical apliance repair proffesional. But I'm located a little too remotely for that to be feasible.
Anyone familiar with stove wiring care to second guess this ?

Thanks for any advice

Heres some pics.

Thanks for those photos, they are helpful.

Based on the length of the wire, the amount slack that should be allowed, I think you should be looking down instead of up. Possibly a port that leads to the metal of the oven liner.

I really can't be sure, it is just a guess.
