Unknown loose washer in Wii

I found a screw washer inside my Wii console as I was taking it apart and I don't know where it goes. I was having issues with it reading disks. There was some debris that may have been interfering with the laser, so I cleaned all of that out. Now I want to put it back together, but don't want to leave out this random washer, especially if it may be contributing to the problem. None of the screws I removed had a washer on it. Any help in identifying where it goes is appreciated.

Hi @msfxit

There seems to be a washer under each of the 2 right hand screws as seen in the image at Step.12 of the ifixit Nintendo Wii 2011 Disassembly guide. The screws are close to the dvd drive.

I figured it out just now as I was putting it back together!! It attaches to the battery screw. I didn't try to see if it fit any of screws until I was putting the battery back in and it wouldn't stay in. I screwed it on and it fit. Just had to figure out how it was attached. There's a little square slot on the inside where the battery screws in. I just slid the washer down in there and voila!! It must've come loose when I unscrewed the battery and somehow fell inside the console. Thanks for responding!!!
