Ok, This might sound crazy but there is a squishy thing under my Laptop Backplate, I know its not a slide stand, or a spill...
My Laptop is a MSI GP72 6QF Leopard Pro....
Its a smoothed out square and is squishy but not stick and is coverd in mesh its about 1'x1' and its not a fan nor speaker
this is not a joke BTW

Most likely it is a sponge containing metal, or a piece of foam with metallic tape over it? These are often used in laptop, tablets, and smartphones to make a connection between a component and the ground of the chassis. Or to provide additional shielding.
