So therefore, metaphysics doesn't really exist, except as thought forms to make us feel better (if we need that), in which case it's just a bunch of nice stories.

 Well you are starting to make clear a completely metaphysical position here.
 What do you mean by 'really exist' ?

 With not exist, I mean s an unprovable, ideal reality separate from the material world.

 Ok like the place where 'natural laws' live?

 There is no place where natural laws live, in fact, the laws we know is just a process in our brains, describing (and predicting) events. They don't live in any dimension. There is no proof of that.

 Isn't 'in your brain' a dimension?
 

 Nope. It resides safely and securely in the real world and does not have its own dimension where ideal and laws live.

So where does a computer program reside?

In a simple case, it resides in a computer.
