Question Does the slide cover plate need the little rectangle?

Hey guys. I'm interested in buying a flatline ops slide cover plate for my M&P Shield 9mm, but i had a question for anybody that knows specifically about the operation of the slide. This is what the back of the cover plate looks like. I notice it's missing the rectangle in the middle, which the stock part has on it. Is this rectangle crucial to operation and reliability?

This is what the "stock" one looks like (this is aftermarket, but retains the rectangle)

Anybody? I'm 50/50 on it. It looks like the plastic channel that everything sits in stays in place without that rectangle, but I'd like a more knowledgeable answer
