Those plates that come with the ES mounts are to stop the mount from distorting when bolted directly to an engine block. Since most engine blocks use mounting bossed which extend from the block.
If you bolt them to a adapter plate, these would not be needed.
The "dampening qualities" come from the poly material inside the mount.
