Decor End Panel Query

Hi all

Just fitting my kitchen today - its pretty much in place just gotta screw in now

I have one query regarding these decorative end panels that go on the end of a kitchen appliance tower thing which contains a double oven and microwave

I take it these panels should sit on a tile - we are not on a position to tile as we havent had time to look yet and we need room badly so kitchen needs to go in so we can move here

The end panels are shown below in howdens - so is it just a case...
