ASUS Rog Strix G16 2025 model SSD slot mylar missing?

So my ASUS Rog Strix G16 2025 came in today. I was going to install a second SSD, but the little mylar strip that the original SSD has is missing. Judging from the tutorial by ASUS support (https://youtu.be/ooFA7SYagg0?si=658LeRMu83yVvZeL), it looks like the computer should come with it. Has anyone else that has purchased this product in this form had this issue? I would like to know if it is supposed to come with the mylar strip. If not, is it important to get a third party one? If so, does anyone have any recommendations?

(reddit post I made about it for the image: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUSROG/comments/1lgq3f6/asus_rog_strix_g16_2025_model_ssd_slot_mylar/)

If your laptop originally came with only one SSD installed, it will include only one mylar strip on that SSD. The mylar is mainly used to prevent short circuits or physical pressure on components.

Since there are many different SSD brands and designs on the market, we recommend evaluating whether mylar is necessary based on the specific SSD you are installing.

We hope this information is helpful. Thank you.
