Default Marmot made nest in my RX300....ate hood heat shield. Need Replacement!

So I found a large, cat sized marmot in my garage yesterday. After I got rid of it, which was not easy, I noticed there was plastic pieces and insulation under my RX300. After I popped the hood I found that the darn rodent had ripped off half of my insulation heat shield under my hood and made a next next to the engine. It also chewed on some plastic liner and on a few wires. I was pretty mad because I just got this car a couple of weeks ago.

I have been looking for a new/used insulation pad for for my SUV but have been having a hard time finding one for this model. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance.

My reply is more to help identify the part ...

Are you talking about the sound insulation attached to the underside of the hood?
