Under rocker panel cover broken off. Needed?

So I was putting on the mud-flaps on and when I was undoing the rivet under the rocker panel, the plastic cover broke off. Is this needed? On the model 3 mudflap install instructions, it says to cut these out, but didn’t see anything on the S instructions.
Picture of another mudflap brand, but I switched to the OEM ones and the OEM mudflaps hold it in place as seen in the 3rd pic.
