Hi, people of TomsHardware

I come here to ask a question I haven't been able to get help with anywhere else. Its been over a year since I've gotten it and decided to switch out the thermal paste. I opened the card to find these 3 strips on the black shroud? heatsink? The one on the far right is gone... Are these thermal pads ? Can whatever these are be replaced ? I'm so worried that I'm going to lose my card because of this. I have tried Reddit, LTT, and even contacted Zotac with no help once so ever. Thank you for taking the time to look at this, and I appreciate any/all help.
