Your image is showing the Serial Number, you need to mark out your SN# in your Image.
Not seeing any read damage, maybe Circle the Damaged area.
The Sticker is used by EVGA Techs to know that the Back Plate was removed or other changes made to the Card.
It will not Void the warranty and anything like that, but removing the Serial Number Labels can Void your warranty as stated on them.
Not so sure it warrants an RMA but who knows.
This "anti-tamper" as you call has been used on EVGA cards for while now (GTX 1080 Release), lots of Threads on it.
Your Back Plate is really two pieces and the Tape Covers both as well as the one screw.
It is so close to the Motherboard no one will see it.

I have uploaded an image with a red circle with the damage and blocked out the serial number.
You forgot the Serial number on the Bottom on the Card or Left Side of your Image!
Did you use Plain Water or a Cleaner Product of some kind or maybe paint thinner.
Get some Krylon 51602 Flat Black Interior and Exterior Decorator Paint - 12 oz. Aerosol and spray into a cup and use a Q-Tip and touch up the white areas.
Do Not Spray Paint the Black Plates, this will void the Warranty.
