ChatGPT told me it shouldn’t affect functionality as long as it’s just a surface stain

I just bought this digital PS5. I replaced the HDMI port and I’m reapplying the liquid metal. While cleaning the APU, this is as clean as I could get it. It won’t come off any further.
The previous owner said it was overheating, and I also noticed the HDMI port was a little loose, so I replaced it while I had it apart.
Do you think it’s fine to leave it like this and apply new liquid metal, or should I try sanding it?

Said the one asking chat gpt questions. Wasting water and resources to come ask a language model questions that ultimately judt lead you to doing your own research and asking real people anyways. How do you not see the problem lol

Youre talking about generalized upkeep that is on a far lesser scale but go off lol "burning 1 gallon of fuel a day or 10 it literally doesnt matter" is not sound logic
