beamer shading columns and highlight extra

Question

I would like to have two middle columns in a grey background (constant) and on the top to overlay a square to highlight something in particular (just to enter at some point). An example of of what I would like follows – numbers are different from my MVE.

    documentclass{beamer}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{psfrag}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{intersections,patterns,pgfplots.fillbetween}
usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing}
usepackage{booktabs, dcolumn}
usepackage{fontawesome}
usetheme{CambridgeUS}
usecolortheme{seahorse}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{hyperref}
usepackage{pgfplots}
usepgfplotslibrary{dateplot}
usepackage{datetime}
usepackage[scale=2]{ccicons}
newdateformat{monthyeardate}{%
  monthname[THEMONTH], THEYEAR}
usepackage{animate}
%usepackage{colortbl}
usepackage[beamer,customcolors]{hf-tikz}
usetikzlibrary{calc}
title{beamer}
% To set the highlighting boxes red.
tikzset{%
    hl/.style={
align=center,
set fill color=white,
    set border color=red,
 right offset={0.35,-0.2},
  },
hl2/.style={
align=center,
set fill color=gray!10,
    set border color = white,
right offset={0.35,-0.2},
  },
}

As starting point: use tikzmark library (recent version). After removing not used packages from preamble and comment others, which are load by beamer the mwe (minimal working example) is:
documentclass[xcolor=table]{beamer}
usetheme{CambridgeUS}
usecolortheme{seahorse}
%usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}    % default at recent version of document classes
%usepackage{psfrag}
usepackage{fontawesome}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{fit,            % new
                tikzmark}       % new
usepackage{booktabs,
            cellspace,          % new
            multirow}
setlengthcellspacetoplimit{4pt}
setlengthcellspacebottomlimit{4pt}
%addparagraphcolumntypes{X}  % in case of use tabularx

%usepackage{multirow} doesn't exist
%usepackage{hyperref} loaded by beamer
%usepackage{colortbl} loaded by beamer option "xcolor=table"

    begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
node[draw=red, thick, inner sep=2pt, rounded corners, fit=(a) (b)] {};
