The rubber stopper is there to keep the plate from going up to high in case of a backfire.

Aslong as it can move freely without any friction you will be fine. Where it site with the engine off won't matter because once its running the airflow will pull the plate to the propper position. Mine does not hit the rubber "stop", I'm not sure what its really there for.
