Those are spots of glue to keep the resistors from moving around when they are placing them. They serve no electrical purpose.

    A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

    Likely the part was intentionally not loaded and the glue stencil wasn't modified. Also note solder paste on those pads--same reason.
