Front windshield washer

Noticed my front washer spray wasn’t working. Tested the rear and worked fine.

Popped the hood and noticed that the hose barb (located on the passenger side right by the hood hinge) had done come off. I reattached the barn to the hose and tried the washer again. The pressure of the pump popped the barn out again.

Can an someone snap a pic of their Fit in that location (passenger side, right by the hood hinge). I want to see if I lost a hose clamp or other securing device.

If the pressure is so much that it's popping off, there might be an obstruction that is causing the pressure to rise.
