I can't really see in the picture but...

If that is a flat piece of sheet metal with a hole in it, then I think that it should be bolted together with the other cable to the metal back plate.

On the Model M's that have 2 grounds, doesn't the second go to the spacebar? That second ground is missing it's other end, see if you can find it where you opened it up.

EDIT: Nevermind, the spacebar ground looks different it seems.

If I can see correctly, the bare wire end should actually be coming out of the keyboard cable.  The lug on the other end should be bnolted to the chassis with teh same bolt as the lead coming from the circuit board.
