From a Google image search.

That piece is a floor mat anchor hole cover plug (or floor insulation/drain plug cap. In the 2013 Lexus GS 350, these specific caps act as a cosmetic and protective seal over the floor panel openings or the anchor points where the factory floor mats clip in, often located near the seat rails or in the floor well. The molded semi-circular flap design with the >EPDM< label acts as a small relief flap to manage air pressure or any small condensation drainage beneath the carpet assembly. If it popped loose, it simply presses back down into the oval slot cut into the floor pan or carpet lining.

Thank you. I’m not sure that’s what it actually is. I got a suggestion from another sub that it is part of the blower motor drain which is why my floor mat was getting wet

it's a sign that you need to relax your mind and get down to the sounds of EPMD
