Safe to cut section of RX480 PCB?

I bought a gigabyte G1 RX480 a while ago and decided to upgrade the cooler with an arctic accelero xtreme IV.

Went fairly well accept the backplate of the cooler can't be clamped down properly as there isn't space near the slot. The backplate is as close to the rear IO as it can go in the linked images below. Does anyone know if I can cut off the section of pcb drawn around in red without bricking the card?
