The jack should be in a bag along with the wheel brace, it should also be held in place by a rubber bungee strap to stop it rattling about once fitted into the cavity. It should also be resting on a piece of grey foam padding to keep it off the wiring...Hang on...I'll go out and take some pics of mine for comparison.
Apologies that my boot insert is in the way, but it's a pain to take out just for the sake of a pic or 2.

Aye, it's just a loose rectangular bit of foam block padding...if you have an old sofa cushion or anything like that lying about, just hack a bit off and squash it in there.
The foam block sometimes gets shoved back toward the light fittings or further forward toward the battery compartment, it may well be in there somewhere.

It's just a posh boot organiser from Land Rover official D5 accessories...Mrs Mole was forever complaining that the boot looked like the inside of a tinkers caravan with all the tool bags and bits n bobs I shoved in there...just in case kinda stuff.
I'm still not sure if I like it or not. It raises the floor level of the boot significantly so stuffing bags of shopping under the load cover can be a pain, not to mention it has to come out if you need a flat loading space with the 2nd row seats lowered.
It also needs to be removed to access the spare wheel winch or if I ever need to cart my tool box around. The boot organiser being plastic has a weight limit of 35 kg on top...the 5 drawer top box from my main tool cabinet that has most of my commonly used tools weighs more than I do.
Besides that, the organiser certainly keeps the boot tidier looking and it's deceptively spacious...
My boot went from usually looking like this...
...to being able to shove all the usual stuff like a Ctek charger, a generic diagnostic tool and a battery booster pack (for others, not for me), a can of WD40, cleaning gear, tow rope and random small tools I normally had rumbling about in the boot. now are all inside the boot organisers dual compartments out of sight...it's also lockable. Like I said though, there are a few drawbacks with having it fitted, and all just for the sake of making the boot look tidier. The jury is still out as to whether It'll stay fitted or not.
There's only a couple of quick release clips to undo in the removing of it, so it's not like it's bolted in or anything...but still...if you regularly use your boot for anything more serious than shoving in bags of shopping outside Tesco, it could well be more bother than it's worth.

I've still got the bottle jack that was fitted under the bonnet in the Disco 2. If I could shoehorn the plastic box that held the jack under the bonnet on the D5...I'd have that in there as well.
Does the bottle jack fit in the same cubby-hole in the boot where the scissor jack usually fits? You never said. If it does, I'll be binning the scissor jack too.
I've got a 5' off road ladder jack that I had fitted to the roof rack on the D4...but I've no rack on the D5 and the mounts won't fit on the standard roof rails.
