OEM horn connectors

Long story short, a while back the wiring for my horn got damaged (don't ask how, I can't even explain it) and I'm trying to see if it's worth repairing myself. I'll be ordering an oil cooler next month and so I will need to remove my front bumper, so while I'm at it, I might as well check to see if I can repair the wiring to the horn. I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing an OEM connector, or if just the wires got separated from the connectors, or if something worse has happened.

For context, I'm not running OEM horns. I have (or had) an aftermarket harness for my horns that are designed to connect to the OEM connectors on the car for plug-and-play installation.

At the moment, I only have two pictures of my issue, but I'll try to clarify some things.

These two wires were what I found, completely exposed and only wrapped up with black tape:

And this is what I believe they were previously connected to:

Though, honestly, I'm not sure if I'm even right, hence, why I would need a picture. Would anyone happen to have an actual picture of the wires going up to their horn? I can get more pictures as needed if it will help you guys figure out what's happening.

That's the outside temp sensor. It clips to one of the right-side radiator brackets.

Thanks for the clarification. In that case, is the top part of the sensor supposed to be the mounting point?

Yeah. I expect that you will find the mate still attached to the bracket.
