Macbook Pro M2 Pro Liquid damage motherboard repair

Hi All,

I just got a Macbook Pro M2 Pro from marketplace for a repair project. There was no power, neither on Magsafe nor on all USB C. So there was PD negotiation as Magsafe led was not coming on at all. Its all dead. After opening the Macbook, I found liquid damage and I know exactly where there was a liquid damage.

I have cleaned the motherboard properly with Isopropyl but looks like 2 of the SMD caps/res were blown so they came off while cleaning. I could see brown burn mark on the bottom plate as well.

Can someone please let me know what are these components. I didn’t power up the board, as two SMD’s are off now. I don’t want to mess up anything. If these are just redundant capacitors is it safe to power the board and check? I am attaching pics for reference, this circuit is directly below right fan, board facing up.

Please help me out.

Thanks
