Put to one side

¿Cómo se dice..?

"I thought as his details were just written on a small piece of paper that maybe it had got put to one side or got hidden under something."

" Pensé cómo sus detalles eran escritos en una hoja pequeña que a lo mejor había sido puesto a un lado o que había sido escondido debajo de algo."

Some hints for correction:

Quote:
" Pensé cómo (This is saying "I thought how") sus detalles eran (Check the differences between "ser" and "estar") escritos en una hoja pequeña*** (Punctuation mark missing here) que a lo mejor había sido puesto a un lado o que había sido escondido (Try another kind of construction with impersonal "se"; this passive voice suggests someone hid it, while I understand there is no one deliberately hiding the piece of paper) debajo de algo."

¿Que tal?

" Pensé como sus detalles estaban escritos en una hoja pequeña, que a lo mejor había sido puesto a un lado o que se había escondido debajo de algo."

Gracias por tu ayuda!

" Pensé que como sus detalles ("datos" sounds better) estaban escritos en una hoja pequeña, que a lo mejor había sido puesta (This is the sheet of paper) a un lado o que se había escondido debajo de algo."
