If it made it into your cylinder... you must have been juggling it in your hands.
Worst case scenario it is in the rocker area and it falls to the oil pan, and comes out when you either reseal it or do an oil change. It won't get sucked back into the engine, there is a mesh.
The stick? If I'm thinking where you stuck the camera, that's a valve lol
To remove anything from the engine I bought a little grabber thing, I'll have to see if I can grab a photo if you'd like. It's like one of those claw machines we used to play with as kids for a quarter.

No idea on any history of this vehicle other than the 2 years I've had it, it has been running strong and reliable. I maybe do 10k miles a year so I'll hold off on those. I have the problem almost sorted at this point. I have one spacer on the way from the dealer for $10, and the other in my hand, and one missing, but not anywhere in the engine that can cause damage. I'm going to confirm this tomorrow when I turn the engine with a wrench and inspect the cylinders from the spark plug holes. After I'm sure, it will all go back together and we'll fire her up. Fingers crossed. Thanks everybody for the help!
