So backplate finally came in and i tried to find originial post but couldnt so figure i make one to ask before i put this on my gpu. A poster had mentioned before seeing stuff melt on his card or something of that nature and it was because he did not take the plastic off of card, then another poster said ur not suppose to or honestly idr...There is a plastic on top of the plate that seems to come off farely easy then on bottom it looks like there is another but it seems to not wanna come off ( i didnt try hard honestly on bottom one ) and i know the 4 little pieces come off obviously on the one part.
 
So question is exactly what does come off and what stays so i dont mess this up lol.

    You remove one piece plastic on the side that face away from card.
    On the side that face card only remove blue plastic covering 4 thermo pads (white foamy looking thingies). Careful, they are sticky.
