It seems like it was stripped completely. In terms of SMT, capacitors are filters and voltage stabilizers. So I’d say it’s needed.

I would suggest you go to Apple as it seems to be from factory. I would advice against trying to DYI the repair due to the dimensions the nearby components.

in which unit I will the problem in the future?,I know that the important role for the capacitors but if the cost for apple is 400$ and without capacitors my Mac work fine I will think it to replace logic board.....thank you

If it's only that capacitor, you can probably take it to a shop specializing in board-level repair and get them to solder it on for less than $50.
