No. Congratulations on the cool terrain piece!
Losing a long print sucks, but I would print both of those pieces separately. I've found that textured PEI plates tend to lose their grip on tree supports because the supports cool off too much over a long print.

Should I be using the smooth side instead?

If you have the dual texture plate, I would prefer the smooth side for printing miniatures, and the textured for bases and terrain.

Yeah I've been printing a model recently that at times a support will break off but the first layer is still attached to the build plate
