I was wondering if could put copper plates and thermal pads in the back PCB of the GPU to help cool down the GPU.
Does this any help even at least -2c?

I do not think it will do much of anything. the heatsource will have the heatsink on it and the pins do not have the surface area for proper cooling impact.
unless the backplate is connected via heatpipe I do not think it will work for cooling. it may look cool but...

I'm also thinking if the thermal pads are conductive, since it will touch a lot of soldered pins underneath
