Zoomed in:
Does it matter if I leave any thermal paste on that area? Are those pins or something?
Also while cleaning the thermal paste for the copper heatsink I noticed a black padding on the underside like a sticker of sorts.
Here’s the picture:

What is that suppose to be? I ended up tearing it a little on the corner as seen in the above picture, when trying to clean off the thermal paste so was wondering if that was going to affect anything?
