After selecting the insert piece then, let's come into the Modify tab, apply an open subdiv modifier, and set this to an iterations value of two. Now, because of the way in which we created the topology here, the default smoothing looks fairly decent. Although, we may want to tighten things up a little bit, because, if we look at the reference, we can see that this piece has a reasonably sharp transition across the edges.
