If it isn't there, can I press it in without having to take the engine out? I know the tube has a lip on one end. Maybe I can press it in from below by dropping pan? Or from above? I'm not sure if that's doable because of that lip.

To the best of my knowledge there is no lower tube, just the upper one. The dipstick comes out of the upper tube , through the block and into the pan.
