MBP 16" 2021 Weird mainboard element which I found broken...

Hey! Can you tell what are these small black little things on MacBook Pro 16" 2021 mainboard? I wonder because I found one torn apart. I straightened it, however it is no longer fully soldered. Though it's broken my MBP still works.

It’s a isolation stud used to support the logic board from twisting about. similar to the one just above which is a spring version for EMI. This one is insulated.

You should be able to just glue it down so it is able to continue to work properly.

So I don't have to be worried that something will stop working?

What kind of glue should I use?

Thanks for answers! :)

@szarik00 - You just don't want it floating around.

Some logic board epoxy should do.=

@danj You mean floating when using keyboard? Just trying to understand, because mainboard is screwed to the case.
