A system for creating a seal between a damper and a platform of a turbine engine component includes a turbine engine component having an airfoil portion, a platform, and a fir tree for joining the turbine engine component to a rotor, a damper located in an area beneath the platform, a seal having a sealing surface which seats against an underside of the platform, which seal has a seal retention feature which bends into contact with an underside of the damper, and which seal with the seal retention feature has a center of gravity which allows the seal retention feature to bend up as result of rotational movement of the rotor. A method for creating the seal is also described.
