I Accidentally removed the Recents Tab on the Favorite's sidebar and can't add it back by dragging like normal files

I accidentally dragged out the "recents" tab from the "favorites" sidebar on finder and can't drag it back like normal folders. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Recents under Favorites not working Recents (under Favorites in Finder) isn't populating with recent files but instead with old files from many months ago. I tried deleting those files. I also went to Go > Recent Folders > Clear Menu, but that also made no change. Anyone know how to fix this? On Sonoma 14.6.1 Thanks.

I Can Not Arrange Safari Bookmarks Folder There are 2 folders in Safari as Bookmarks Folder. A) Favorites B) Others I save YouTube page to Favorites folder. It can’t be saved into Favorites folder for some reason Although Favorites folder is checked whilst saving. That’s ok. Then go to the Safari side panel. I can not drag and drop Youtube page into Favorites folder. When I click It goes to rename mode. I copy It then right click to favorites folder. There is no Paste option on the Favorites folder.

Go to Finder > Settings > Sidebar, and make sure Recents is selected.
