Sorry for the tardy reply. Please see attached photos. So my method was to "over engineer", aka I went a little overboard and placed velcro strips pretty much everywhere. But I am 99% sure the ones that made the difference were the long horizontal strips I placed across the length of the plastic divide as indicated by the red arrows... Sorry if it's not all that clear. It was a lot of trial and error, it took me almost a week of applying and then driving till I managed to get the soft velcro in the right place.

I'm sure you are also wondering if the velcro interferes with the operation of the sunroof, I am happy to say it does not. The pieces are thin enough that everything is pretty much flush.
So, did you pull down the black cover piece and line the inside portion? I just want to be clear. This just started happening in mine when temps dipped into the teens here last week. I'm in Louisville, KY, so we have crazy ups and downs in our weather. For instance, it is going to be 68 with possible tornadoes tonight, followed by snow on Thursday. So, the noise has stopped as the plastic expanded with the humidity in the air the last couple of days.
