Not sure how to copy this shape

Hi, I'm new to Onshape, 2nd day.

I've been trying to copy a STEP file to edit a few things for a 3D print, I've learnt a lot so far with a bit of fiddling.

I am trying to re-create the shape in the red circle, I have tried a filet and full round filet on a square that I extruded, and now a triangle.

Not sure what to try next.

Matt

    Start with the rectangular block (ear) sticking out of the main body, you don't need those orange, blue, dark grey and light grey bodies.

    1. do a full round fillet
    2. on each end, do an edge fillet with radius of half the width of the block
