I guarantee you this did not actually come from Temu, but I can be reasonably certain it was damaged in shipping, wherever it came from.
Those burner elements are just held to the deck underneath with some little tiny clips, sometimes just with one dinky screw through it each, and they’re not difficult to knock out of position if the thing’s been banged or dropped in transit.
It’s just as easy to put the back into place, usually, if the owner can be bothered to flip the thing over and take the bottom cover off and, you know, show some initiative other than whining about it on the internet for internet points.
(I have also occasionally seen some of these show up with the wrong glass installed, though, i.e. from a manufacturer that makes more than one model, and the markings on the glass thus don’t quite line up with the burner positions underneath.)
