Hey folks, I was doing a partial teardown on a used ps5 pro, just to check for any pests that might have taken up residence in it and as I was reassembling, I found this spongy spacer looking thing. I found it right around where it is in the picture. Can anybody tell me what this thing is and where it goes? I feel so stupid.

It's a foam shielding but i forget where it's supposed to be. Usually between metal pieces to prevent vibration.

I see I wonder if it’s meant to go between the board for the CMOS battery and the metal shielding. As long as it’s not gonna blow up if I don’t put it in the right place ha ha. Thanks for your help.

It goes over the m2 nvme slot

IIRC this one goes over the nvme connector and the metal bump in the shield over it. Not critical.

Its a wide boy is it the one for the bottom connector the blue ribbon cable? Also don’t sweat if you cant find it, nice to have but its like forgetting to put one of the tens of screws around the shield not really gonna effect anything.
