What do these foam/cushion pieces behind the front wheel well do?

Ok, so I got my car back from SC today. They didn't fix my cubby light issue but it seems they introduced some new rattle sound into the front of my LR. It just sounds like something is loose and is rubbing against something else, especially when it's going over bumpy roads, at any speed above 10mph. In any case, I opened the hood and looked around, I saw two loose foam/cushion thingy behind the hood hinges, one on each side (see red circles). I pull them out carefully, as I don't think they are meant to be free-flowing there.

So the million dollar question - what are those pieces and what's their function? And where are they supposed to be secured to?

btw., my new rattle is still there. :(
