Are you certain? Typically, a new motherboard has many of these plastic components on the metal parts that should be removed (often clear or blue) to prevent damage to your device. If you're unsure, just send it back.

I mean, I didn't buy from someone else. I bought from an e-commerce company. There is only one plastic thing to be peeled off, but I checked some unboxing videos of Tomahawk max and they have only one plastic thing like I do.
Sometimes online sellers dispatch refurbished or returned items without indicating their status. To be certain, inquire with the seller about it.
