Small silver sponge fell off logic board

I replaced the speakers on my 15" MBP 2015 yesterday, and when all done, I found this small silver colored sponge (see photo) had fallen off the logic board, but I'm not sure where it fell off. There were a couple of those on the board, apparently serving as some type of a cover over screw heads. But the material is curious, if it's just a cover (why not just use rubber). Anyone know what it does? Thanks.

Oh, one more thing. There is a small triangular rubber flap that covers a set of screws (see circled area in photo). There are two, one on each side of the laptop. I'm missing one. It's not critical, is it? I put a piece of electrical tape over the missing one.

Thanks!

This is a conductive EMI energy transfer gasket. It's used to offer a pathway between two parts and/or fill a void which EMI emissions can exit the system. Here's a deeper write up Design Guide for Reducing Radiated and Conducted Emissions

I don't remember encountering the EMI disc when replacing the speakers But I do remember them being present under the heat sink to drain off the charge built up within it from the CPU

it is a heat spacer u can put it on or leave it off I mean it's not critical
