I saw a small scratch on my motherboard after removing the GPU. I'm not sure if it's a problem or just something to ignore.

Oh no, get over it! It wasn't on the traces at the top, just a little scratch. Stay careful next time.

they appear relatively fine. if any obvious objects were hit, i’d be concerned. consider restarting the device.

PCBs hold up better than commonly thought. Real damage would require actual deep cuts.

It seems a scratch has removed some of the traces near the screw, revealing the copper surface. The good news is the damage isn’t severe and this part of the board is typically used for audio, so breaking it might affect your sound output.

The audio functions correctly, but the microphone port might be compromised.

They appear okay. You just revealed the traces. It doesn’t seem like you removed them completely. Everything should function properly.

Yes, you can place them on something to keep them in place.
