Why is my trackpad making a rattling noise after replacing battery?

Yesterday I replaced the old battery in my mac air and afterwards noticed that, whenever I touched the trackpad, it made a rattling noise. For some reason, it appeared that the trackpad had become loose.
So I did a little experiment: I took the new battery out and put my old battery in and the noise and the rattling disappeared.
So I'm pretty certain that it's the new battery that's causing the noise/rattle.

Any suggestions on what I should do? I actually tried putting a foam material between the battery and the trackpad to "push" the trackpad upwards, and the noise actually went away but it created another problem: the click function of the trackpad disappeared. I'm not sure how to solve both problems simultaneously.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
