You discovered a damaged capacitor in your case after hearing unusual noises while moving it. The computer is still functioning properly. Since you haven’t soldered anything and have limited experience with capacitors, it’s wise to check it. It might be safe to leave it as is unless the noise persists or you notice performance issues. If unsure, consulting a professional repair service would be a good idea.

Check the origin of the issue and reach out to the motherboard manufacturer for a replacement if needed.

I reached out already, but it still takes 24 hours for a reply... I'm unsure how to fix the issue with my computer right now.

Just spot an electrician close by and ask them to re-solder that capacitor, it’s not a big deal at all.
