Will it become an issue?

Thing is, I can't take the mobo out to take a pic of the underside of it. I dont live with my daughter. But, I do appreciate everyone's advice.

If you don’t know what part it was and where it was placed or even have the skillset to solder a replacement part on to the motherboard, don’t worry too much and just assume that the board might die soon.

If it does die, buy a new motherboard.

Very simple given the lack of options.

Like I said, the back of the board is littered with these extremely tiny square things soldered on. No part name as they are miniscule
 
If it is knocked off and still works, it really basically has to be a capacitor. Lots of circuits use them but don't strictly require them in order to work, they're generally there for voltage smoothing. So, somewhere in your board the voltage may be slightly less ripply, under certain conditions.

:edit: 100% just leave it.

:edit 2: if we're up for some fun anyway, here is what I believe the rear looks like. If so then must try harder koolpc or get some Google fu lessons stat :p

Thank you.

I had to remove that big plate that encompasses most of the underside. A riser under one part had to be removed and in doing so I broke off a tiny square bit that was soldered to the board. It was really tiny.

Thanks for the pic...
