why was this removed in the first place?

the pads are there as spacers between the boards and the heat sink to prevent wobble and possible short circuits.

I don’t see the difference, it should be. Facebook YouTube forum

I would not take too much notice of face book.
if all your pads measure the same height, then replace with the same thickness.
The only other way is to run something like a rule across the cpu to the chip and measure the height difference between each chip.
