I pulled apart my laptop, where do these bits go?

I recently pulled apart my laptop as the screen had died.  I replaced it with a new screen, it works great now, but only after pulling my laptop apart much more than was necessary.

I managed to keep track of where most things went, except these three pieces of foam/rubber (and two little screws, but let's not worry about them).  I really didn't see where they came from, they just appeared on the workbench.

Here's a photo of the pieces, the coins are to give a sense of scale: http://users.tpg.com.au/malydog/IMG_1027small.jpg

The laptop is one of these (or very similar): http://www.malaka.net/tpgcentrino/IMGP2120.jpg

Note, the CD/DVD drive won't eject...  Could be coincidence..?  But that's a separate question ---> https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22065673/CD-DVD-drive-won't-eject.html

...and be more precise when opening a laptop, you should inspect how everything is mounted, since they are not so easily mounted. While it may work for now (and can continue to do s o) it can also cause lost of troubles in the future.
