I'm not sure if this is what you're describing, but I think its worth mentioning that there is supposed to be a plate under the carpet near the bumps.

From THE FIELD, section 6.2.3:
Quote:
The BUMPS are fixed to base plates that are secured to the carpet of the FIELD to keep them from moving. The base plates are covered with the same carpet as the FIELD. Note that this forms a small (approximately ½-inch tall) transition from the FIELD surface onto the base plates.
