Question ADATA M.2 pad cover

[finwizz]

Need to install this on Astrix X570-E board. To me it seems that the "XPG"worded (what looks like thermal pad) sticking bit goes on the Chip. I have seen it on Youtube. So, my question is do I need to use this or use the Strix-E M.2 cover on it (with the sticky paper removed). I hope I have made this clear.

Thanks a lot. I guess the ADATA thermal pad is supplied for those who do not have a pad on their motherboards (unlike X570 boards).

Was not sure if one uses both or not. From what you said, I will go with the Strix x570 one.
