Today I noticed something came loose from inside my case. I’m not sure what it is or where it came from, but it seems to be a thermal pad. Could you help identify it?

Looks like packing foam from the case that was left over perhaps?

Examine the bottom of the CPU cooler fans for those screw holes. It seems they’re present. Likely they came off from the top of the fan.

I located a second version, positioned on the GPU. It has sticky texture on one side and regular on the other.

According to @halfbroseph, observe the front fan of the CPU cooler. There are two additional ones, probably for transport protection. Spoiler alert.
