This seems to be very common, seems everyone has there own process for thermal material applications. I always pull every card I get apart when new and check for pad placement and reapply compound. One of my brand new 980 Classy's TIM was just as yours was, the other was almost perfect however one memory chip was only half covered by thermal pad.
But good thing you caught this early, may have prolonged the life of your card.
