I was in the process of trying to install my M.2 and the screw wouldn't come off, so I tried to get it off with pliers. While doing this, a tiny component labeled LEDD3 or LED03(label got scratched) got scratched off the surface of my motherboard.

Okay, very sorry to hear that...Sounds like you have damaged a part on the motherboard.....Just in case, try resetting the BIOS...Not sure how on your motherboard but there should be a jumper switch..

Luckily, they are not that expensive as you can pick up a Z370 motherboard like the MSI - Z370-A Pro for $103.99 and it will fit no issues in the case and with the parts that you have...

Unless Cyberpower are willing to replace it based on any warranty that you have....
It is possible as those can be soldered back on...but to be honest, I am not sure, you need better advice...I am hoping someone with a bit more knowledge can answer this but it won't hurt asking a technician if you know one or there is one in your area...
