So I decided to build my first PC and everything went fine and I got it all working. Today I started thinking that I had plastic cover on gtx 1070 that I pulled of and that is all fine. But I did not even check if there was any plastic(or something similar) cover under or on top of the cpu, I have a ryzen 7 1700. Should i be worried because the cpu can get warm and I dont want the plastic(or something similar) if there is any to melt or something.

Do I need to remove my fan and see if the cpu got anything on it?

Yeah I know it is a stupid question maybe but this is my first time I build a PC and I dont want it to break hehe.

Those temperatures are perfectly fine. The only thing I would say about temperature monitoring software, is in the past some software didn't give accurate results with AMD processors. I have heard that it is not a problem with the Ryzens, but I can't confirm. It wouldn't hurt to try AMD overdrive also. Plus, if you plan to overclock, it has that ability.

What are your cpu temperatures? If there was any plastic covering the top of the CPU (which I haven't seen), your temps would be sky-high, as the thermal paste on the cpu cooler wouldn't be in contact with the cpu. Use AMD overdrive (download from AMD website) to monitor your Thermal Margin, which is the number of degrees your cpu is from it's upper limit. So a larger Thermal Margin number is better.
