Strut tower/frame paper gasket?

Hi guys,

I forgot to put the strut tower/frame paper gasket while changing my coilover (only one) . Is it really useful? If so, is it still possible to buy it from Mazda?

Thanks!

i've never seen it mentioned, but i suspect it lets the strut top move around without making noise.

i have a guideline, if i don't know what something does i put it back, so i put these back.

they aren't paper, its a thin plastic
