I think an easier find will be rubber or plastic stick-on feet at Home
Depot or Lowes. Sometimes too they are provided in new case hardware
assembly bags, so you might get lucky at a local white box builder's
goody bin.

Think of this too. If the motherboard maker didn't put a hole in that
spot, then they probably didn't feel it needed support in that spot.
