Scratched tracers on motherboard

[Fillychi]

I kinda scratched some tracers near the microphone ports of my motherboard while trying to remove the case gpu expansion strip things.

Are the scratches okay? Should I return my mobo before finishing the build?

Can give it a try, start with minimal, DRAM, CPU, cooler. From what I can see it doesn't look bad

If it works, should I take any action to protect the scratch?

Should be fine without, could hit with a touch of clear nail polish and let dry

Is flammable nail polish okay or can the hardware heat turn my pc to flames?
