Can anyone tell me what this is and does it come out the top of the dash. I had a ridiculously hard time disconnecting it to remove the dash and pretty much zero luck trying to reconnect it in place. I assume it needs to be removed through the top and connected and then pushed back in but I can’t seem to remove it and being some sort of sensor I imagine I don’t want to apply too much force.

That should be the solar sensor that detects the sun's strength heating the inside of the car up used when the car has digital climate control. With manual heating controls its a plastic blank and the wiring connector has a location point in the dash to stop the end moving around making noise.

Great thanks. That at least shows me where the clips are to release it.

Thanks for that. Since I could see the clips I gave it a squeeze and tried to lever it off at the same time and to my horror the top came off. Then when I looked closely it looks like the top is supposed to clip off and then when it does the sensor falls back into the underside of the dash. You can then push it back through connect the wire and push the top back on again and clip the sensor in.
