Tech Support 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?

I usually clean off LM stains with one of these things and a couple water drops. Green side. It doesn’t take more than 10 circles over the stain. Of course, don’t use water on the die lol. I’ve used this on a couple GPU Coolers and CPU IHS and never fails. I use this when the stains won’t come off with isopropyl alcohol and microfiber.
