Insulation in the rear air inlet housing, or wing to fuselage cavity?

My thought is the insulation in the rear inlet is to prevent oil canning. One of our Skymasters was missing it and popped a bunch of rivets on the top skin. All Cessna singles I’ve worked on over the years have had insulation in the armpits

Thank you for the input guys, now to figure out the best thing to do ...
