You stick the piece of foam adhesive to the bottom of the *keyboard*, not to the RAM module (there's a drawing in the service manual). Where you get the specific part I have no idea, but when this very problem got my PB 5300 going wacko a few weeks ago I used a piece of stove gasket material maybe an eighth of an inch thick as a spacer and the difficulty hasn't recurred, at least not yet.
