I just bought an rx480 xfx RS edition which includes a backplate but after dissembling the card I found out the backplate has not contact with the pcb. Can I apply some thermal pad on the back of the gpu socket? Will it be dangerous or safe? Thanks k you in advance!

I wouldn't recommend it, you're not supposed to do that.
