So this second plate moves around a little bit (maybe 1mm in X and Y). It goes above (closer to the camera in your photo) the main plate. Notice that the second plate has narrower slots. The silicone passes through the wider slots first, then through the thinner slots on this loose plate.
I don't know why this plate is loose.
To get the silicone through the more narrow slots I get just a little through by pushing from below then I have to grab the silicone with pliers and pull it firmly through these skinny slots.
You can purchase these silicone pads extremely cheap. I think 5 for 10 euros. Something like that.
