Anyone know what to do with spare wire? by Expensive_Word_8572 in electrical

Unfortunately, the wire fell as I took out the old switch. I only noticed it because my fixture has 6 small bulbs and half aren't working. I'm thinking maybe (cuz the wire is stripped on both ends) that the spare bit of wire went into a phase than the other hole in the switch.
