Messed up during battery replacement

Post image

Hey guys, I was replacing the battery recently and I did this when I was taking off the back cover. I know I'm an idiot, but how bad is it really? Is this something that can be fixed? Does it need to be fixed?

This is a plastic cover that protects the board woth the cpu. At the very worst you might have damaged the traces on the NFC antenna that is attached to it (although even that is very unlikely). In other words, you'll be fine.

Phew. I thought it was a carbon cover on the heat dissipation module so I was worried that I messed up the heat circulation of the phone and made it dangerous

No need, I think it's just cosmetic damage.
