With little signal of 4g, wifi and no GPS, I opened my phone well to check some defect and I missed this piece, in my view seems to be the antennas, does anyone know where I can buy only this piece?

It's really not clear from the photos and the information you give exactly which part is missing

Are we talking about the cover plate? In the two pictures is one your phone, the other a picture from ifixit or somewhere?
Whatever is the case, my best guess is that AliExpress would be your easiest source. I just searched there and found thousands of f1 parts, albeit most were camera parts
Alternatively, if you lost a piece and don't know what it is, your best hope of getting it working again might be to take it to a phone repair shop and pay someone who knows what they're doing

That's the Motherboard Bracket - at least that's what it's called in teardowns of other phones I've taken apart (for battery replacement etc). It acts as a retaining cover, but also typically houses connections to battery, antenna etc
I can't see it on AliExpress but you might
You could try finding someone with a broken phone interested in selling parts - eBay maybe?
A repair shop might be your best bet - remember that you might replace this and have the original problem come back - they could help
