The title says it all. What should I do? I have some screenshots. I don't want to mess up anything so I need simple answers :) 
If you can't see the thermal paste try downloading and zooming in to the marked places or things like that.

It has been a year since I have bought it and I just realized it. You mean I shouldn't try to clean it or something? I don't want to have problems in the future :)

Also my screw holes look like they have melted or something. My mobo is Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 gen 3. The circles around them are not normal. Also I THINK some of em don't have circles around them. 2-3 of the screw holes look normal....ish.

How they are supposed to be

How mine look like (By the way this is the one that looks worst and it doesn't have a screw in it so I think this hole hasn't been used ever)

I didn't do the assembly, a PC shop did so I dunno. Is this normal?

If it bothers you you can always dip a Q-Tip in rubbing alcohol and use it to remove the TIM from your motherboard. I my self always like clean MoBos.

Of course do this with the power off.

Those are grounding contacts. It is how it is designed.

I understand but they all look like they've melted down. They are all smaller than they should be according to the pictures of my mobo. Why do they look smaller? I mean is there a reason why? What do you mean they are designed like that? Is it normal for em to get smaller and stuff?

Don't worry about them because you computer is going to get good grounding through your 24pin connector. There are other thinks to worry about than this stuff like dust in your heat sinks, fans failing because of dust and other minutia.
