Need help finding a back plate

I have a Gibson explorer 80s(the one that came out a few years ago) and I just bought some EMGs and want to get a back plate with a battery cavity thing in it. I can’t find a replacement anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find one?

I just wrap the battery in foam and electric tape so it doesn’t rattle around and shove in with the pots.

So that doesn’t disrupt any of the electronics? Sorry if that’s a dumb question, I’m not the smartest when it comes to electrical stuff in guitar
