After flying my drone today I noticed a rattle. When I pulled the battery out I tilted the Drone to the side and these two parts came out. Not sure where they came from or what they're used for and hoping somebody on here might be able to tell me. Reinstall the battery and flew the Drone with no issues. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.

That's a capacitor, and a pad which goes between the capacitor and the board.
This capacitor is used to stabilize power on the esc center board (filter out power fluctuations caused by changes in motor load). There should be 3 such capacitors on the board.

Parts are not free. If it wouldn't be required, DJI would not put it there.
It's a filter. Most devices can run without a filter, for some time.

Thanks Leyland! Found a source outside of Toronto. Reached out and waiting to hear back. Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well
Lol,,, wow, I didn’t pay any attention to who was posting the question. I’m glad that the capacitor breaking loose didn’t bring the bird down. I’ve not seen one come off like that. On top of being soldered, they have a flexible glue on them also to protect from vibration.
Good to hear from you, hope you’re staying safe.
