I would regard the plate itself as really just a "signal object", not useful in itself, but letting Ladybug know that she needed to use the glue that was already present in the room. This is like the teapot in "Sapotis" and the potion bowl in "Syren" — giving Ladybug a message, rather than being an actually useful object in its own right.
