My keyless entry won't work after I replaced the battery, why is that?

Try reprogramming the remote. Please refer to the steps below on how that is done.

Can I purchase the separate plastic that is between the circuit board and rubber push pad?

It might be available as an aftermarket piece when purchasing a new push pad or case assembly. If not, then find someone selling parts from the same generation of vehicle or visit your local automotive wrecking yard to purchase a used unit.
