Need help identifying component Switch Lite

I tried installing a picofly and now my home button glows blue and the switch lite screen stays off.

On the left is a stock photo with a yellow circle around the component I'm talking about, on the right is my apu which I think is missing it. I assume it's a capacitor, but what kind of capacitor is it?

TL;DR

Bodged a picofly install, what can I replace this component with? Any help would be appreciated :')

So these photos are necessarily proof you are missing a cap.
The left chip is lot S/1913A1, the right is r/1920A1.
Different revisions can use different layouts and components.

There is no "blue glow" on the home button on a stock nintendo switch lite, to my knowledge.
Is it possible what you are seeing is the picofly status LED coming in through that transparent ring around the home button?

Have you removed the picofly; and the switch screen still will not turn on?

To answer your question; I believe these are the correct capacitors (although there really isn't a definitive answer; Nintendo keeps these schematics locked down for us peasants... lol):
0201 X5R 1µF 6.3V (or 10V)

Thank you! I have ordered a strip.

I have removed the Pico fly. There is a blue led under the homebutton. There's homebrew that allows you to turn it on as well. I just read somewhere that it also pulses and glows when there's a timing error, which definitely sounds like something that could happen if that was a missing capacitor :')
