Here is the 1060 FTW+ 6GB PCB...

Where exactly are you looking? Where the red circles are?

The areas circled in red in this picture appear to be blank templates where the 8gb cards would get 2 extra modules.
But looking from the side of the card, I can definitely see the edge of what I'm thinking are chips, same appearance
as the edges of VRAMs from side on, but only stand halfway up between the pcb and the base-plate, with a 1mm gap.

 Maybe you're seeing thermal pads?

I considered that, but from what I'm seeing, they seem to be fixed onto the pcb instead, with the gap between the top of them, and the base-pate above it.
I guess your idea is possible, but being there in the first place kinda seems odd, especially if they're not serving any functional purpose by not making contact.

After just registering the card, I've learnt that it qualifies for the thermal pad fix as-well, so taking it apart in the near future seems inevitable. 

Maybe the thermal pads fell off the base-plate.

NucleusX, what GPU-Z says? 8GB or 6GB? Maybe you have a GTX 1060 semi-Ti
 
Seriously, don't you have a camera?

lol, already checked that after looking sideways @ Sajin suggesting it, and it reads 6gb. There's no such thing as an 8gb 1060 to my knowledge.
Yes i have a cam, but its totally unnecessary. There's nothing else to describe here, just the edges of something hidden, not taking it apart either. 
Tbh I'm totally over this crap, i just want a safe EVGA card to play games with rather than play Mr fixit for weeks on end, man what a crap shoot.
I'll find out when EVGA gets their crap together in getting these thermal pads sent out, its taking way too long if you ask me, i'll take it apart then.
